The Duel, reloaded? - Mirror Image Somewhere on I-15, Utah, 1980

♪♫ ...or was it "New Mexico on I four - o" ? ;-)) ♪♫

TSC June 14th - "Forest Gump" photography. Why Forest Gump? Well you stick the camera out of the vehicle window and shoot at random... "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'r gonna get"

Vorsicht: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"! ;-DD

Ja, genau. Wenn da so einer von hinten aufkommt fühl man sich ganz unwohl. Damals war überall Höchstgeschwindigkeit 55 mph. Nur die Trucker waren schneller, denn die wußten immer, wo grad die Highway Patrol stand weil sie CB Funk hatten. Wenn die 70 fuhren, konnte man das ruhig auch riskieren :-D

...is doch hier auch so - nur, dass es bei uns viel enger zugeht! Hatte ich erst gestern wieder, Bundesstraße, 60 erlaubt, fahr selber schon fast 80, weil man ja sonst als "Verkehrshindernis" gilt und werd trotzdem noch von LKWs überholt!

Deine roten Verkehrsmittel haben es mir angetan, Lutz. Ob nun mit schwarzweißem Hintergrund, oder Blauem, beide sind mir ein Sternchen wert... ;o)

And if you drive up behind them and get close enough you can get pulled along with them and save gas. ;)

What a cool shot and reminded me of the movie Duel too. That was such a suspenseful movie.

Shuttering Yukon has replied to Clickity Click

we draft them all the time up here, they can feel the drag and they wiggle around to see you (probably to give you the finger) but we have small cars and can stick back there without him seeing us.

Great shot with a sense of menace about it. I too found myself instantly thinking of Steven Spielberg's "Duel" from the early Seventies! :)

Wow. Such crispness and clarity from a moving car. Colors of the truck and sky (and wonderful cloud) are so complimentary.
