Roadside Splendour by maggiemae

Roadside Splendour

There was only the option of a shuttle to go further up the wonderful Zion valley but as the queue was a mile long, we decided otherwise. Age and the weary legs plus the high temps.
Down through interesting territory and this photo was taken while driving at about 50mph hence the foreground blur but I quite like it.
Three good things;
1. Must have saved a bit of fuel - all that going down - about 3000 feet!
2. Temps were a bit higher at our destination - 41C or 105F but the air conditioner was a good one. The pool was luke warm though! Overton near Lake Mead.
3. Mexican food was the best quality!
Your documentary of your vacation is so captivating!!! You're really getting a great tour, and capturing some fantastic images!! I'm thoroughly enjoying it!!!

Play some Blackjack for me in Vegas!!!!

A really wonderful drive by image. Nice clarity to the hills and the foreground attests to your speed. Glad to hear about the food, sorry to hear about the pool

Woa - it looks like you are chasing down that hill. Neat effect. Wonderful scenery. What a journey you are going on.

I love it and I live Zion. We may be going back again in October as it will be cooler.

I think 50 mph photos are pretty great. I always take lots of them when we travel!
