CO to KS 8-11-05 US50E

August 11, 2005. The first exposure taken in mid afternoon east of Denver on US 50 East, the last in western Kansas near sunset. Fuji S1Pro 70-300mm, auto exposure, manual or aperture priority, manual focus, hand held or tripod. Over 350 exposures made on this leg. And again, the narrow horizontal layout is due for the most part to power lines along the side of the highway. Unless these structures add something to the spirit of the image they are cropped.
