  Yes! Of course I was!! There wasn't much traffic..This is on about a 70 mile stretch of nothing but scenery. There's nothing out there but one campground. You can hear cars coming a long time before they hit you. Luckily, I'm not deaf! Yet.

  Great shot Carolyn. My first photography teacher (Ed Allen, (80) and you would've loved him, like we all did) used to tell us "always look for some sort of an 's' in your photos, as it draws the viewer deeper into your shot's. I know of what you speak, when out in the country, and you can hear traffic approaching from miles away it seems. You've done a great job here Carolyn. Keep shootin - Allan ;-}

I wish I'd have had a teacher, Allan. I learned everything I know so far from watching this site and learning from all the great photographers here. And someday, I'm gonna take a class! Really, I am!!
