Feel the speed at the back of a pickup truck

We spent the a weekend at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada to attend Balls XXX, the biggest experimental rocket launch event in the world. The camp is in the middle of a dry lakebed, also called playa, the same place where Burning Man takes place. The playa is big, about 200 sq mi (520 km2). After launching rockets we drove to the edge of the playa and jumped into the Frog Pond, a natural hot spring. It was fun riding at the back of the pickup truck at high speed.

 

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
