Good road photos for backgrounds

[TravelingBethelite]

Have you taken any? Have any, otherwise? A lot of shots make for great backgrounds, like this one:

Took this in July 2008. The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, looking south to Cheticamp.




Took this one in September 2015. It is, of course, the Moki Dugway.

Took this one in September 2016.

I was driving a DeLorean. What's the problem?!!!!

(Yeah, I lost track of the years.)

Here are some from my Flickr that I just uploaded that I think could qualify...

Vine Street Expressway (I-676/US 30) looking east toward the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia:


Closer view of the Ben Franklin Bridge, this time from the intersection of Race and 2nd Streets:


And here are two views from the same overpass (Don Mills Road) over Highway 401 near Toronto. First photo is looking east, and the second looking west...

I like the low perspective that this photo was taken at.

Thank you. Traffic counts are low.. Hard to believe it's less than an hour outside the center of a metro area of 1.5 million

My current PC lock-screen photo is this one (sorry for the repost)

Uncompahgre Gorge on US 550 near Ouray, CO looking northbound.

Also used this as a desktop background for a while

These aren't insanely good, but I was proud of these shots from NH-16 northbound near Mt Washington last October.

Tons of car magazines can't be wrong about US 163 and Monument Valley:

[1995hoo]

Heh. We stopped there, but my wife refused to take the picture from the correct vantage point.

[Max Rockatansky]

Yeah I got a decent one last year at the right angle when I stopped in.  The only issue was making sure cars weren't coming to which there is actually a surprisingly large amount during non-winter months in southern Utah.  It's actually one of my favorite pictures of myself, now if only I could replicate it with my Challenger (cough Vanishing Point) it would be all the cooler.

Here's one for ya, US-74 westbound near exit 173 in NC, or right about  here

Shafer Canyon Road, Canyonlands NP, Utah - taken May 2016. Seems like one of those cliched motivational posters the CEO decorates the office with:

The journey of a lifetime begins with a blind leap

That's the one that begins at the terminus of UT 279 below Dead Horse Point and ends up near the national park visitor center.  I would have loved to give that road a try heading up the canyon but ever time I've been out there I always had a car.

I don't have too many criteria for road-related backgrounds, except that it's decently easy to still read my icon captions and that I'm actually the one who took the picture.

[dgolub]

I use this as my desktop background.  It's the Throgs Neck Bridge (I-295) as observed from Bayside, NY.

If this weren't the slightest bit fuzzy, it would be perfect! I was taking this picture of the GW Bridge while on a Peter Pan bus. We were on the Henry Hudson Parkway/West Side Highway for whatever reason, back on April 15, 2015.

A couple of mine that I'm pretty proud of:

This is on US 89A looking east between Jacob Lake and Marble canyon, AZ.



AZ-Loop 303 SB

If these were clearer and more vivid, they'd be perfect:


US 89A in AZ

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures but in southern U.P. Michigan and in northern Wisconsin would make some beautiful pictures!

I always like to grab a couple pictures of the Vermillion Cliffs on US 89A on the east side of the Navajo Bridge.  The Bridge angles perfectly and is facing the cliffs directly over Marble Canyon.

This was while riding past a rest stop on I-84 in Stormville, NY. I think it was in southern Dutchess County. I do know that's the Hudson River Valley in the distance. The picture was taken on June 14, 2016.
