Driving through the snow-capped mountains of Scotland, when I had to heave over to one side to capture this.

There are many sources of distraction.
Rolling hills under the shadows of majestic mountains, streams, lakes, colourful foliage, prospects of animals and birds, a winding highway that beckons to be travelled - this is the Haines Highway.
This is an image I have wanted to attempt for a number of years now. It is strangely adjacent to a major highway and a challenge to achieve. However, this time it appeared possible to go for it. In the past we have always been busily racing home from an outing and the timing was always wrong with a car full of family.
Now, I was on my own and the highway was not too busy. Part of the challenge is just stopping because the highway shoulder is barely wide enough. Cars are whizzing by at 120K. However, the conditions were right to grab this shot and this is the result.

Reminded me of this song from the TV show, "Then Came Bronson" in the 70's.
Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I'd like to see
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Believe or not, I set up my tripod in the middle of this road and took a few selfies here. There was only one car came by and that was it. You can see the lane divider is not that straight.
Gliding along Moose lake with a container train bound for Prince Rupert, CN 5773 hurries past keeping up with traffic along highway 16. Catching up with trains along this portion of the CN Albreda subdivision can be a difficult task, doing speeds similar if not faster than that of the road, it is quite the task to stay ahead of a freight on Yellow Head pass.
Scenic drive along the Richardson Highway Alaska, with Mt. Sandford outstanding on a heavenly landscape.
I love the scenery along 149 but I really like coming around the curve and checking out this view of a "red" mountain.

Some commutes are better than others, this is one of those. This is what I have to endure on the way home from a day in Denver, Colorado. The snow covered mountains are the continental divide, some rising over 14,000 feet high.
