In this shot, while traveling west from Maryland, we drove through Montana and it was getting dark. Our next stop would be a few hours away. Rounding a curve I notice the sunsetting over this set of rolling hills. Mind you if you look close enough, you'll see the road going up and down each hill. In order to get this shot, I didn't have a long enough lens, but set up anyway. using my 100mm on a tripod in the middle of this road. Once home, I was able to crop/frame the image better by removing the lower half which shows that I was standing o the road with a dark hill in the foreground. Again taking the image in color, then converting to black & white and using a preset I've created which heightens the shadows and attempts to remove some of the haze. The only drawback, I should have used landscape mode instead of portrait mode to take this pic. As I said I was forced to cut off nearly half the image at the bottom. Just another one of those instances where, the wife and I are on some no name road out in the middle of nowhere usa taking photos.

Good catch. Evocative and well done. Guarantee you the road has a name. I live out here, and they all, including many private ones, are named!

Just so other realize, I'm not condoning standing in the middle of the road when taking pictures, But this was one of those instances where there was nothing coming from any direction. This is one reason I'm considering creating Hogger dayglow vest or jacket for the community.

I have a question for those following my topics. Although I see and have seen these images and if I don't say anything as to what they are or what to look for, is one able to make heads or tails of what the image is?. IE: if I had never said anything about this picture, would you have known what it is. it's very difficult to convey what I or one sees when in the field. I see it then and now, but I'm trying to put you in my shoes to see the same thing I did. Plus I don't think the color version would have shown the shadows very well. The yellow and green fields would have detracted from the image.
