Title: Best of Road Pictures
Post by: CentralCAroadgeek on April 25, 2012, 10:28:03 PM
Post some of your best pictures along the roads on this thread! Whether its a scenic view, a downhill grade with many unfolding in front of you, or anything else, it's all welcome here! Don't forget to describe its location.

Here's my first one:

Georgia State Route 223 is a road that travels from Cedar Rock to just southeast of Grovetown (near Augusta & Fort Gordon's Gate 2).  Below is a photo of the road's eastern end that I took today.  It is just northwest of its eastern terminus, looking toward the northwest.

A BGS is the abbreviation for "Big Green Sign." Like the one I've shown here.

What in the world were you doing driving down the center of the road, between two semis, no less?
Title: Re: Best of Road Pictures
Post by: kphoger on April 29, 2012, 02:57:50 PM
A2 highways (called 'supercarreteras' in common parlance) are designed for this.  They have wide paved shoulders, and the shoulder line is a broken white line.  They are commonly constructed where traffic volume is too heavy for a simple two-laner but funds aren't available for a four-lane highway.  Some drivers have even developed the habit of riding the shoulder nonstop, I guess so they don't have to watch their mirrors.

If I'm behind a slow-moving vehicle (as in the picture), here's the practice:  I crowd the center line and put my left blinker on; the truck in front of me slides over and straddles the shoulder line; I creep over the center line; any oncoming vehicles also slide over and straddle their shoulder line; and I just shoot down the middle.

When it's just passenger cars it's only a little bit nerve-shaking.  When it's 18-wheelers on either side of you, you get a little more nervous.  This was Saras first taste of Mexican-style passing.

Edit:  FYI, A2 highways are 7 meters from shoulder line to shoulder line, and have shoulders of 2.5 meters each.  That's a total width of 39 feet 4½ inches.  By comparison, the standard minimum width for one side of an Interstate highway in the U.S. is 38 feet of pavement (4-ft left shoulder, 12-foot lane, 12-foot lane, 10-foot right shoulder).  So there's plenty of room for three vehicles to pass by each other.  It still makes for a pretty cool picture, though, huh?

Not true.  This is a somewhat common practice on Texas back roads.  In fact, I had my first experience with this type of driving on Texas SR 158 between Goldsmith and Gardendale back in the 1990s.  We were obviously tourists, with bikes on top of the car, just coming out of Goldsmith (read: trying to get back up to highway speed).  The truck in front of us straddled the shoulder, then three oncoming trucks straddled their shoulder, and I was able to pass down the middle.  Yes, on a U.S. road.  Let me tell you, it doesn't take long to get used to people moving out of your way!

Would that make any real difference in traffic capacity?  As it is, the shoulder can still be used for its two primary purposes:  as a storage area for breakdowns (or roadkill), and as a buffer between traffic and the edge of the pavement.

I have never seen this behavior intentionally in the US.  Just once in (IIRC) Oklahoma when someone misjudged a distance towards an oncoming vehicle during a suicide pass.  Everyone reacted instinctively, and there were much brake lights and at one point all three cars were just about dead stopped side by side.

Yes, I've been told by a couple of people who grew up in Texas that folks often do it on the FM roads; the only other time I've seen it done stateside was when a trucker rode the shoulder on 54/400 somewhere east of Wichita to let me know it was OK to pass him (no oncoming traffic, though).

Construction signs in general are orange in Canada. In fact both Ontario and Quebec sometimes stripe temporary lane markings in orange in construction zones. The white construction zone signage is somewhat of an anomaly unique to Ontario. (Though I am sure other provinces have other anomolies that I am not aware of).

Right-click the image, copy the URL (with WikiPedia, they append a "File:" description for the entire image page with attribution, et al).

Then, use [img ]http://www.site.com/file.jpg[/img ]
(remove the space after "g" but before the "]".)

Quote an image in someone's post, and edit to see how it works.

Well, it is in an urban area (Boston) and the right of way is pretty narrow there, thus the 45mph speed limit.

40 is the lowest speed limit you can have on an Interstate.  That's also approaching the Big Dig.

Correct. There is no "lowest". It's all contextual. You could have 25 mph at the end of an Interstate if it has enough of a curve to it. Not to mention I-90's speed limits drops down into the 20s or 30s approaching toll plazas in MA.

Maybe it varies by states.  According to the variable speed zones page on the WSDOT website, they don't allow speed limits lower than 40 MPH.

Funny that the self-storage place has their old name out there...you'd think that they would want to post their current name (CubeSmart Storage apparently).  I took a bunch of pics of this sign.  With flash, the ancient button copy lights up spectacularly.

I suppose I wonder why anybody takes photos of anything if the audiences first reaction is always that they themselves need to drop everything and take a photo of it themselves. Seems a little bit disrespectful to the initial photographer, and makes it seem like we have all gotten carried away.
Title: Re: Best of Road Pictures

Being the initial photographer, I can say that I am happy that Steve was wowed enough to want to see the location and sign himself.  If I hadn't gotten the photo, he wouldn't have known about the sign at all unless he managed to run across it in the future.  I suppose others may react differently, but that's my take anyway.

Steve, make sure you look for "Business US 1B" when heading NB on US 1 approaching Newcastle-Damariscotta.  I won't feel bad if you get your own picture!  :P

Neat! That should head over to "Worst of Road Pictures." I'm also one to be flattered when someone sees my photo and says "ooh, I never knew of that" and rushes out to see it themselves. The more, the merrier.

I suppose I wonder why anybody takes photos of anything if the audiences first reaction is always that they themselves need to drop everything and take a photo of it themselves. Seems a little bit disrespectful to the initial photographer, and makes it seem like we have all gotten carried away.

I don't get offended if other people I know go take pictures of my kids, why is a sign any more holy than that? We all go to famous places around the planet, and still get a photo for ourselves, regardless of how many thousands of others may have done so themselves. I would consider it disrespectful if someone said "I could take a better picture than that" or defaced/removed it from service inappropriately.

That sounds like a waste of resources. Do you really think you could take a photo that looks different (or better) than what's there?

Waste of resources? Are you one of these "we have to conserve gas because we're running out and burning fossil fuels is destroying the environment" types?

If Steve has the time and Steve has the money and Steve has the desire to go see this sign in the wild, more power to him.

The new span now in place on the Eggners Ferry Bridge has been well-documented in photos and videos, but he still plans to come see it. A few years ago, I took some photos of the New Harmony Bridge between Indiana and Illinois and I'm sure Steve's seen them posted on my site. He wants to see the bridge for himself and get photos before it's possibly torn down. Am I offended that he wants his own photos rather than just seeing or using mine? Of course not.

Sometimes all you need is an excuse.  Or just need *something* to set as an alternate destination.  I went to take some photos of a sign that has already been photographed this weekend, but I turned it into a longer trip with some good photos and one pretty decent sign find.

There are still quite a few of these floating around.  They're getting rarer, still, but usually I'll stumble on one or two of them on every trip to Maine.

I've booked a flight on two days notice for the explicit purpose of going to take one photograph.

6th St northbound at Pine St, Calumet, Michigan.  it should say "203/double arrow/to/41/right arrow" but I'll forgive them.

go ahead and get your own photos.  hell, go steal the signs.  better you get them, than the highway department melts them down and turns them into a guardrail.

glad to see that Mass Ave sign survive.  if I recall correctly, it is a green sign, but has faded almost completely to black by now.  

when I first found it, all-caps button copy wasn't all that rare so I thought "hm nice" and went on my way.  looking back at that gantry, it implies to me it may be middle to late 50s in construction, which puts it to the very beginning of button copy as a manufactured product.

There's one sign only (not one each way, one total).  That sign is northbound, just past Mary Gates Drive.  (Plus small markings on bridges, and "Junction" signs implying a state route as you approach 520 and 522).

DOT wanted to abandon 513 to the City, but that would mean the City would be responsible for the Montlake Drawbridge and the underheight pedestrian bridge to Hec Ed that trucks scrape all the time.

Ever since VDOT changed the EXIT 1B sign from EAST I-64 to DOWNTOWN HAMPTON in the late 90's, it has been an issue that has irritated me from the first time I had ever seen it.  It is posting that downtown Hampton is more important than I-64 east.  It just plain looks unprofessional.  DOWNTOWN HAMPTON should be on an auxiliary sign just before that particular interchange or it could be on a LGS in place of the EAST I-64 on the gantry in the second picture.

It's a wonder the airport sign wasn't slapped over the WEST I-64 part of the EXIT 1A BGS and a trailblazer put in place of the airport sign.  I guess then it would have made the gantry look a little more "balanced".

By the way, those are excellent photographs.  I really like the first one--a simple, elegant sign.

I agree with you on this one.  Why would VDOT put I-64 EB on a small assembly instead of on the main guide?   All kidding aside, I think swapping the airport and I-64 West would be an improvement for real if they choose this way.

Interesting, is it MUTCD compliable?

I-5 north in Portland from the Morrison Bridge onramp. (On another note, does that blank electronic sign happen to be one of those new variable speed limit signs in Portland?)

I realize it's a bit stale now, but noone responded. 

It's a ramp meter signal.  Oregon uses electronic signs to indicate that the meter light is on or off.  Some of them also indicate motorists to form 2 lanes.  (Oregon only has one lane through meters; however, people are supposed to form 2 lines when the meter is on.)    That signal is at least 10 years old.

Washington uses flashing yellow on a warning sign.  California uses a pedestrian signal that says 'Meter On' instead of the standard walk/stop signal.  On expressways, they use the standard flourescent CalTrans variable sign that's been used since the 90s.

More pictures that came out really well from last weekend's trip, this time on I-64.

EDIT: The second one could be more because I may be living in Willoughby Spit soon, so I'm naturally excited at that idea.

I never got a picture, but I found an unusual sign on Morris Bridge Road northeast of Tampa just before the road goes over the Hillsborough River;
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Morris+Bridge+Road&hl=en&ll=28.096099,-82.316823&spn=0.000076,0.038581&hq=Morris+Bridge+Road&hnear=Spring+Hill,+Hernando,+Florida&t=h&fll=28.110749,-82.303219&fspn=0.03138,0.038581&z=15&layer=c&cbll=28.096126,-82.316759&panoid=U3P-jUUTfKBaqtFxpSNyjw&cbp=12,79.24,,0,-0.7
It's a brown diamond sign reading "Park Entrance," with the supplemental plaque "1200 Feet." Diamonds are for warnings.

I imagine it's meant to be a warning sign, warning you of an intersection with cross-traffic.  If it were yellow, it wouldn't stand out nearly as much.

I had about two hours to kill this morning while Wal Mart was changing my oil, so I decided to take a little hike and look for highway photo opps.  I decided on the Kansas Turnpike, which people generally don't get to see by foot.  I hope you enjoy my little-seen vantage points of the KTA.  I focused on the BGSes, because I didn't want to spend very much time close to the pavement, for obvious reasons.

C-5 Expressway

Is this the Philippine definition (= freeway) or the American definition (= divided highway with at-grade intersections)? I'm guessing it's the latter. C-6 would be an expressway under the Philippine definition.

The stretch of FL A1A between Manalapan and Palm Beach is absolutely one of the best drives on the Atlantic Coast.

The road's about as narrow as it gets (for a state road) along Manalapan...but the shade over the road is the cherry on the ice cream there.

This is past milepost 17 on Maui county route 31, the Piilani Hwy, looking west.  The easy way to get there is to take HI 37 to its southern end near Ulupalakua where it turns into route 31, then go until milepost 19 or so.  Turn around and shortly you will see that view.  This looks like it did around the time I first saw it in 1998, after it was newly paved and painted.  When I went back there last year, most of the center stripe had been worn away, except for short portions that had been repaved and re-striped, so the effect wasn't as nice.  In 1998 the smooth pavement end around milepost 19, last year it extended to milepost 29.

this must have been not too long after May 2009.  that is when I was there, and it is the only numbered highway on Maui I did not drive.  it was closed due to a landslide.

From home for a change.  The final rehabilitation contract to resurface the mainline lanes of the highway through Etobicoke was finished earlier this year.  This is the first time in the last decade that there hasn't been a prolonged period of construction planned for the highway

Not knowing a better spot to put it without opening up a new thread or reviving an old one, I'll simply borrow this thread. 

Guess where the following picture was shot, taking into account the color of the lane striping and the traffic flow...

(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi225.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd144%2Froadnut%2FA179C35B-7A38-4E60-8E7A-F80D3A447F94.jpg&hash=e8a21e28620f76d24b7e13618c2fe8c1451b7658) (http://s225.photobucket.com/user/roadnut/media/A179C35B-7A38-4E60-8E7A-F80D3A447F94.jpg.html)

If you guessed Philadelphia, you're right.  This road - 7th Street in South Philly - is supposed to be 2 lanes per direction, with a center turn lane.  After the Eagles game today, whether it was intended or not, traffic utilized all 5 lanes to head north (mostly to eventually reach I-76 & I-95).  In this case, as no traffic was permitted to head south on 7th after the game, it gave motorists unobstructed access to all lanes.  The worst of it was where 7th met Packer Ave.  Barriers were in place (and cops present) to prevent traffic from entering and traveling south on 7th, which also meant traffic going north couldn't go thru said barriers either.  The 5 lanes had to merge down to 3 lanes to squeeze thru the intersection. 

While in some cities around stadiums, lane stripping and signage are used to indicate which lanes are open and the direction of travel, Philly doesn't utilize contra-flow lanes.  Thus, most likely this wasn't the intended traffic flow the city wanted.  Oh well - it worked.  I got out of the parking lot, thru this traffic, and onto the Walt Whitman Bridge in about 15 minutes...not too bad considering the traffic volumes 70,000 people create when leaving a game.

I don't know why I didn't see this thread sooner. There's some amazing photos on the last ten pages.

The pictures I like the most are those where you can see miles ahead. This example shows I-15 from Nipton Road, CA looking towards the small town of Primm, NV which is ten miles in the distance.

Thanks for posting the completed version of the tunnel at Limekiln State Park in Big Sur. I've not been back that way since 2009, and I'm glad to see it's now done. I believe this tunnel is intended to reduce rock fall potential above the highway. It is debatable as to whether CA 1 north of the split just north of Gaviota is considered Pacific Coast Highway or Cabrillo Highway; there are legislative definitions for each in the Streets and Highways Code:

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=shc&group=00001-01000&file=300-635

Quote635.  (a) State Highway Route 1 from Las Cruces to San Francisco
shall be known and designated as the "Cabrillo Highway."
   (b) State highway routes embracing portions of Routes 280, 82,
238, 101, 5, 72, 12, 37, 121, 87, 162, 185, 92, and 123 and
connecting city streets and county roads thereto, and extending in a
continuous route from Sonoma southerly to the international border
and near the route historically known as El Camino Real shall be
known and designated as "El Camino Real."
   (c) State Highway Route 1 from south of San Juan Capistrano to
near El Rio shall be known and designated as the "Pacific Coast
Highway."

Nowhere near as good a pic as the rest of yours, but still one of my favorite views. Interstate 40 in western NC has some of the prettiest scenery that can be viewed from an Interstate anywhere in the country, especially the eastern US. This picture was snapped by my wife on I-40 westbound near the Mcdowell County rest area (mile marker 82) a few years ago:

Shouldn't the divided highway ahead sign in the median be a keep right sign?

You know, I've been looking at Google street view of that exact same spot multiple times over the last several weeks (planning next month's Mexico trip, which will use US-277 from the OK line to Del Rio), and I had not noticed that glaring signage goof.

(snipped)

Looks like there's some twinning happening there too, at least west of the bridge.

Now the only thing preventing the twinning the 17 from the Manitoba border east is a First nations issue (which is quite fair IMO; they're asking for a simple road into their community, in order to approve the twinning).

Thanks for the pictures.

Over my Thanksgiving break, I was able to get a few night photos of downtown Boston...

Here's two shot from overpasses over the Mass Pike (I-90). The second one shows the Prudential and the John Hancock Towers with Fenway off to the right.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/626/22971352944_d0ff2d9e5c_z.jpg)

This one isn't anything too special; just I-90/Mass Pike trailblazer shields with the Prudential and John Hancock Towers in the background.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5778/23599523065_e58c783416_z.jpg)

Here's two I took with the on/off ramps to the Tip O'Neill Tunnel (I-93) in the foreground and the Custom House Tower in the background.

And not a road photo at all, but I wanted to post it anyway because I'm happy with how it turned out.  :D

@ IAN: Of those Boston photos you took...I think the building on the right in the first picture is for New Balance. The southern extent of that building is still under construction now. I'm fairly certain that Fenway Park is just out of frame with the second picture.

As for the time lapse aspect...how long of an exposure was that set for?

Yep, I remember seeing the building with the New Balance logo on it, so I figured it had to do with them. :)

And all of these pictures were on a 30 second exposure.

While I rarely do road-related photography anymore, sometimes when I take my car on photoshoots I'll get the road in the background. These pictures were from October 2014. I've "fixed" the wheels since then as they were on the wrong side of the car, but that's off topic.

This one is more recent, from about a month ago, at 42nd Street and Riverside Drive in Richmond. Riverside is a tricky road to get photos on if you're driving (one has to be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists at all times), so I pulled off onto the side street. Even in 40° weather the road had several cyclists and pedestrians.

It is definitely beautiful country.  US 30 in PA is a very scenic drive, whether you're into mountain scenery, historic towns, or even farmland.  The stretch of 30 between Latrobe and Gettysburg (137 miles) goes through great examples of each of them.

Yeah, there is a matching disused off-ramp on the other side of the road as well.  I don't know the backstory behind these off-ramps, though the Hollywood Freeway is one of the oldest in Southern California.

The moki dugway might be my favorite road I've ever driven!  I took a detour from my southwest road trip just so I could drive it.  Amazing.  I know there's a guy on here who has the infamous sign at the bottom as his avatar.

Bumping this thread to show off some long exposure photos I took earlier today on a spontaneous trip down to Northern Virginia for work. These two are overlooking I-95 from the Commerce Street overpass in Springfield, with the first looking toward the Mixing Bowl. It was still slightly light outside, so it took me a few tries to finally get the correct exposure time to produce acceptable photos.

Your presumption is correct! A bicycle photobombed my photo as I was taking it. At first I wanted to try to photoshop it out, but I sort of like it.

There is actually a cycling site that I'll link over when I get home that has a ton of great info on road grades and conditions for almost every notable road that I find handy.  One of the big bike races out here in the Central Valley is called The Climb to Kaiser which starts out at Clovis and uses the parts of Tollhouse Road and Kaiser Pass Road which I posted pics from.  Blackrock Road is actually one of my favorite running spots since there is so little vehicle traffic on it.

I'm not into racing, but I like to ride sponsored rides, and some charity events as well.  I rode the Lupus Wolfride near Columbia, IL (outside St. Louis) and for a guy that comes from probably the flattest part of Illinois, that ride kicked my butt in a good way.

It's worth a go but I would recommend UT 24 since you get part of the Swell on it and UT 12.  I posted UT 12 a couple replies back on this thread, it's probably the most scenic highway in Utah...which says a lot considering there a ton of notables like I-70, UT 9, UT 261, and UT 9 just to name a few.  I'll have some others like UT 279 and UT 128 up here in the next day or so...completely awesome state for scenic driving.

There are overlooks that all have pull-offs, but the best views are in the east bound lanes.  1 and 5 are from this overlook:

I-96/I-275 at the Eight Mile Road/M102 junction in Farmington Hills.  Got a lot of family history here, used to live right off this exit on Eight Mile and my Dad's old office is the white building in the background:

Unknown Abandoned Park Road just north of Cape Sable in Everglades National Park.  I thought this might be part of the Old Ingraham Highway but it isn't:

(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1255.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh630%2FMadMaxRockatansky73%2FIngrahamHighway2_zpshtzsg53h.jpg&hash=3fd4494058de603b0cf06836667ded0ff8aa3a01)

The Lanier Bridge, one of the last notable wooden deck bridges that I know of in Florida.  This would be a replacement of the older bridge which was pretty scary to drive over.  If I recall correctly this was part of the Cumpressco Railroad Grade through the ghost town of Ashley into the Green Swamp where Cumpressco was.  Basically Florida has just has many ghost towns and abandoned rail grades as any western state...fun fact if you are looking for something non-theme park related to see.  Don't go swimming in the Withlacoochee River...you'll regret stepping in that black water.

Perhaps you're right, that being the case I opened this thread up for some of my older road photos:

https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=19215.0

Given that it's my own thread it would give me some flexibility in regards to talking about context.  I couldn't find motivation to do anything like the full-on Road threads in the Mountain West and Pacific Southwest Boards for older stuff.  Right now I'm running into a malaise of boredom and too much time at home intermixing.  So that being the case, I hope nobody was offended by the volume of pictures here...certainly wasn't my intent.  Anyways, I'll be going through the older road stuff I have and maybe posting 10-20 a day on the thread listed above if anyone is interested.

I'm by no means offended, nor do I want to stop you (or anyone else for that matter) for sharing their photos online.  As many others do, I too have a large photo collection, and often share them on AARoads and other forums as well.

I have enjoyed seeing some new life breathed into the 'best of' photo gallery, I just want to keep the spirit of the thread as one that everyone feels welcome to share their 'best of' photos periodically, instead of it becoming a single poster's thread.

Okay cool, I just wanted to throw it there that wasn't trying to take over the thread.  I kind of needed to find a new means of posting the older stuff anyways without doing a full on replication of the threads in the Pacific Southwest or Mountain West boards.  I just don't want to overburden an existing thread or make anyone else feel unwelcome, hence the new one with just my older stuff.  Alex kind of said something in the same vein about a page back also...which is why I wanted to kind of tread lightly.  Most of the stuff I go do is pretty obscure also, so it's probably just better to leave it in a new "Max's Roads" thread instead.  I figure 10-20 a day over is probably enough if I have the time.  Most of my recent stuff is pretty organized, cataloged, and cleaned up...but that sure ain't the case the further back I go prior to 2010.

My post was not meant to criticize your content, but was more meant to aid in ease of browsing, especially for users browsing the forum on mobile devices. I am good with anyone posting as many photos as they want, just not in a crazy long post such as this (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17354.msg2123132#msg2123132). Figured that ten per was a good separator, and if it ups users post counts, so be it.  :coffee:

No worries, I figured that it was a navigation thing from the get go.  It was a slog to scroll through some of those longer posts that had dozens of photos on them.  I'm actually going to do same thing in my regional threads since it's more pleasing to the eye. Things kind of worked out because a lot of the conversation has diverged into Florida talk...kind makes me wonder if I should have done a Max's Roads Florida thread. Lol.  Anyways didn't want to bog up the thread with my stuff. 

And dear god that's some intimate detail on the Loop 303.  I usually have to clean up windshield glare on my in car photos, that must have taken all day.

Actually they were repaving a lot of the secondary streets in town.  Many of them were actually ground down to dirt, those photos were from May last year.

I Love that bridge.  We were there two summers ago to visit my mother in Phoeinx.  It's awesome seeing it from the Apache Highway (AZ 88) with the dam in the foreground.  I need to dig up my pictures from the trip.

^ That entire area is really cool.  I've only been out this way once, and it was really hazy over the lake, which somewhat muted how magnificent the landscape of this whole area is.  I'd love to go back there again, but there is only so much time and money to spend on such things.

Title: Re: Best of Road Pictures
Post by: Thing 342 on January 02, 2017, 11:19:16 AM
Canon EOS Rebel T6. It's a beginner model for sure, but it's good enough for my college budget.  All photos above (except the bottom one, which is from my Nexus 6P) were taken with a EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens.

The bridges with those new DDIs off of I-85 are very interesting, I must say. Also, albeit this is not a DDI, nor an exit at all (it is simply an overpass), the new Skip Spann Connector bridge over I-75 in Kennesaw is very neat as well.

Canon's entry level cameras are great value for the feature set though.

If, in the future, you are looking to upgrade your lens collection, kijiji is a great place to buy used glass.

Sometimes you can find some outstanding deals on f1.8 or f1.4 prime lenses, which are great for dusk and twilight photography.  I use a 50mm f1.4 lens for a lot of road photography, and am generally always really pleased with the results.

Night-time exposure of Interstate 5 in Downtown Seattle, looking north from the Columbia Center (76 stories above street level). I had a bit of difficulty trying to get proper light trails from the cars stuck in traffic (as seen in the inbound lanes, which makes for a cool effect). Also pictured are 5 of the city's near-hundred cranes. They even get decorated for the holiday season with lights.

Sometimes you can find some outstanding deals on f1.8 or f1.4 prime lenses, which are great for dusk and twilight photography.  I use a 50mm f1.4 lens for a lot of road photography, and am generally always really pleased with the results.

Agreed...a 50mm prime is a wonderful all-round lens. While you'll rarely need f/1.8*, having a crisp image at f/3.2 or 4.0 is helpful in lower-light situations when you want to keep low ISO and/or faster shutter speeds.

Gray skies or evenings are where my prime works nicely in road photography. It also works best in manual mode, especially if your route changes directions frequently - in that case, making adjustments while moving can be tricky or unsafe. You probably don't want the aperture any wider than f/2.8 in a moving vehicle, because there's bound to be blurring of the desired subject due to parallax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax). One can get around that by using a higher ISO and letting the chip decide whether you'd prefer f/4.0 to f/22+ at 1/500-800s shutter speed.

The drawback is that there's times you want a wider angle, so my trusty kit lens works in most situations. While it lacks the sharpness of the prime lens, it won't drop below f/4.0-5.6, but the trade off in the image quality in dim conditions means it's a secondary choice. Arguably, it doesn't seem to have the same color gamut for shadows and it has more chromatic aberration (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration) in high-contrast situations. My kit lens does at least have image stabilization, which is nice for shots at 1/250-400, which normally would blur nearby objects at vehicle speeds above 25mph.

* Some bench tests show that many lower-end and mid-range lenses degrade in performance at or near their extremes (fastest/slowest shutter speeds, widest/narrowest apertures). But if you buy a lens that costs as much as a car, then you're going to get the specified results.

My biggest regret in owning a dSLR camera (or interchangeable lens camera, as is becoming the more accurate name), is actually not learning how they actually worked sooner.  For the first few years of ownership, I generally just took images using the camera's automatic settings.  While Using the camera's automatic settings produced did produce generally good results, now that I have learned how to take more control over the camera's settings, I am generally much happier with the final results.

Just my two cents of course.

Canon EOS Rebel T6. It's a beginner model for sure, but it's good enough for my college budget.  All photos above (except the bottom one, which is from my Nexus 6P) were taken with a EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens.

Canon's entry level cameras are great value for the feature set though.

If, in the future, you are looking to upgrade your lens collection, kijiji is a great place to buy used glass.

Also in my lens collection are two old Gemini film lenses from my grandfather. One is a 28mm f/2.8 wide-angle (which I haven't really used), and the other is an 80-200mm f/4.5 lens. They're obviously full-manual, but I only use the manual mode unless I'm taking a quick picture, so not a huge deal. Furthermore, my main kit lens becomes mostly useless after about 4 P.M., so I'll have to try out some dusk shots with the 28mm.

I can't help but say that is one beautiful road picture. The road looks nice, and so does the scenery. I don't think I realized some parts of Washington looked quite like that, but it's pretty. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, though, because a lot of eastern Oregon looks kind of like that as well.

For now, all that green can be attributed to the huge winter storms this year.  I got this pano from 198 on the descent from the Diablo Range.  Basically it over looks the San Andreas Fault, Gabilan Range, and Santa Lucia Range off in the distance:

A couple more I thought turned out really well this year...


CA 1 in Big Sur from the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road.  This is the section from Gorda to Limekiln State Park which was cut-off by the Mudcreek Slide and Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge crumbling:

Thanks for posting this!! I absolutely love that I-5 bridge across the Oregon/Washington border, and it is actually one of my favorites of all time. This is a very intriguing alternate view of it. It truly is beautiful!  :nod:

Post by: CGPerry on May 14, 2018, 03:47:15 AM
Thank you very much.  This is also one of my favorite bridges.  This view shows the southbound span, which was built in 1958.  It is very similar to the original northbound span, which opened in 1917.  Unfortunately, these bridges have outlived their usefulness.  It's a major traffic bottleneck, and there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight.  This crossing was already obsolete and over capacity the year it was built.  No improvements have been made since, save for the elimination of the toll booth.

I love taking shots like this.  Bridge shots are always tricky at night, when you are using a tripod.  On a  bridge at night, every car that goes by causes the ground to vibrate, which makes your camera jump, causing your pictures to come out blurry.  I had to take this picture nine different times, just waiting for a lull in the traffic, and even then I got a semi truck in there.

It's been awhile since I took any real road photos, but here are a few of a section of Old Wagner Road in Petersburg, VA. I took these the other day with my Canon 50D, using a 55-250 lens. The road is still open to traffic but almost nobody uses it past the few houses on it.

Mansfield Dam and the FM 620 bridge over the Colorado northwest of Austin. Isn't this spooky lighting great? Yes, it is. I took this with my phone, and the glare was such that I could barely even see the screen, so I took the shot (OK, several shots), hoped for the best, and got it.

I'm embarrassed to admit that, while I knew of the verdant hills on that side of the city, I was unaware that they stretched so far until my daughter and son-in-law took us to a restaurant on the shore of Lake Travis. This is 19 miles by road from downtown Austin.

Took this one this morning, there is a lot going on in this picture.  Primarily the most obvious thing is Old US 40/Donner Pass Road snaking down Donner Pass.  Just below Donner Pass Road on the right the Old Dutch Flat & Donner Lake Road which was part of the Lincoln Highway can be seen.  I-80 can be seen on the opposite ridge descending Donner Summit.  I was standing on the China Wall on the abandoned alignment of the First Transcontinental Highway:

This is my all-time favorite (at least from my own pictures): the I-80/Bangerter interchange, with the Oquirrh Mountains and Great Salt Lake in the background. Taken after departing SLC, which is off the right edge of the photo.

Took a trip to Cumberland this weekend, something long overdue for me (seeing photos of the Cumberland Thruway/I-68 inspired so much curiosity in my 12-year-old self).  I truly thought it was an incredibly beautiful town in the middle of the mountains.  The view from I-68 is very impressive.

That view of the Sideling Hill is so iconic.  That might have been the first view of a highway through Appalachia that I first saw when I got into this hobby.

I spent about 45 minutes at the rest stop just staring in awe at the rock cut and running around taking photos.  I almost cried from the beauty of the area and the cut.

It is, especially east of Snelling to Bear Valley.  Lots of little old mining communities and ghost towns along the way to pull over and see to boot.

Living in Dover, I can attest to that.  On days when I take off early from work, I'm surprised by how many people actually are in downtown Monday-Friday 8-4:30 (considering the DelDOT complex is on the outskirts of Dover).

Also-perhaps we should do a "best photos of 2018" thread?  It might be easier to choose a favorite photo from your own collection when you narrow the selection pool down to one particular year.  Choosing my favorite photos from all-time sounds like much more of a daunting decision to make haha.

Where the hell is everyone!?!

Presumably still in bed being unwilling to get up at sunrise on a Saturday morning to wander downtown.  Given I was five streets over from the Capitol it probably really speaks to the Monday through Friday nature of government work. 
Living in Dover, I can attest to that.  On days when I take off early from work, I'm surprised by how many people actually are in downtown Monday-Friday 8-4:30 (considering the DelDOT complex is on the outskirts of Dover).

Likewise, Montgomery is a sleepy little town on Saturdays and Sundays.

Lansing is also the same way.  In fact when I was in High School I went through Drivers Ed driving around the Capitol complex. 

Regarding a 2018 I just noticed Asphalt started one, I'll contribute probably tonight.

Ahh, yes that makes sense. Didn't realize it was a weekend.

Your images reminded me to look at my own images from Sacramento when I drove through last September. Lots of Clearview!

I was really looking forward to that weekend.  I had a solid list of everything I wanted in the city in terms of old highways and transportation infrastructure.   I actually killed the battery taking photos which I haven't done in a long time.  Oddly I'd almost kind of compare Sacramento to how Seattle is.  Old Sacramento and Pioneer Square both are on raised street grids, both have similar vintage structures to boot.  I thought the old CA 70/99 button copy BGS on Capitol and 5th was a nice find.  It's taken me all week to do my blog series entry and I still have some stuff left to go before I publish it.

Truth in advertising; the following isn't my best photo. It is a little blurry and off-centered. I did some touch up work on it, in photoshop.
But for those who like toilet humor in the road signs, I might have to find a way to include some 'Pee Pee' in the Portsmouth (Ohio) Roadmeet come this spring...

US 163 from Mile Marker 13 (Forest Gump Viewpoint) looking towards Monument Valley back in 2015.  This was a pain in the ass to get because I had to be on the center stripe and wait for no cars to be coming.  It probably helped that there was a flag zone a couple miles ahead in the picture for a resurfacing project.

Looking through some photos on my PC and I found this one from last June. It's the Capital Beltway as seen from the WMATA Yellow Line during the afternoon rush hour, looking to the west. The backed-up traffic is all heading towards the Wilson Bridge over the Potomac; the two lanes to the viewer's far left are an on-ramp from Telegraph Road and the next two lanes (where the truck is) are the "Local"  carriageway. The next carriageway ("Thru" ) was oddly empty–it's usually congested too at that time of day. I don't remember whether some incident caused it to be empty that day. (Edited to add: A Google search reveals that there had been a fatal truck crash, resulting in a fire, in the Outer Loop "Thru"  lanes earlier that day.)

I like the picture because of the combination of the lighting (especially the way the sun's rays shine down from that cloud), the sense of the multiple carriageways, the view from above, and the weird situation of the heavy traffic to the left with the other lanes so empty.

OT: I hope that photo was taken from one of the newer Yellow Line trains. That photo looks so damn humid, and those new 7000-series carriages pump out A/C like it's going out of fashion. I was downright cold riding the Blue Line back in August.

It is, though it's stuck at 640x480.

For the record, the watermark on your photo wasn't specifically bothering me, as much as the whole concept of Photobucket watermarking the photos does.

That's because when I uploaded it and it asked me which size to use, I selected 640x480 because I know the moderators ask that images be kept under 800x600 if possible. The other size Tapatalk offered was larger than that.

The forum software resizes widths to 800, but not height. I think you have to link to a ginormous image for it to ignore resizing.

Glad you reminded me that was there, about to return to Florida this Sunday.  I'm placing a huge emphasis on places I lived since I'm not happy with my photo stock.  This is the former US 17/92 on the Old Tampa Highway near Lake Buena Vista:

Interestingly Old Tampa Highway is still an active through route.  It even has a Polk County boundary monolith from 1930:

What I was referring to is that the forum guidelines say the following. I know it isn't necessarily always enforced, but since Tapatalk asked which size to use, I figured I might as well use the one that complied with this:

QuotePhotos and images posted in forum threads should not exceed 800 pixels in width or 600 pixels in height. Everyone is not using the same monitor. To reference larger images, just add a link from the 800x600 sized image to the larger file in question.

He he.  I remember one time, my sister and her friends and I were driving from Denver back to northwestern Kansas in the evening after dark.  My sister was driving, and she was getting tired, worried about falling asleep at the wheel.  So she pulled over on the side of the road, and we all got out and started doing stretches and jumping-jacks in the middle of US-36.

I once stopped (I was by myself) in the right lane of I-495 in Delaware under an overpass in order to chip ice off my windshield wipers because the weather was bad enough that they'd become largely useless due to being caked with ice. There was so little traffic by that point that I wasn't much worried about stopping on the highway, and as I recall the shoulder was a mess so I didn't want to stop there. Looking back now, I probably I should have stopped for the night somewhere, but I was driving home from depositions in New Jersey and I didn't think the client would be likely to reimburse me for a hotel on the way home. (Why was I on I-495 coming back from New Jersey? The southern end of the Turnpike was closed due to weather issues. Instead of I-95 through Philadelphia and then I-495, I should have gone west to Harrisburg and then south.)

Damn, I love that western span of the Bay Bridge. Normally not a fan of infrastructure that's really imposing (Alaskan Way Viaduct, for example), but that bridge, somehow despite its hugeness, fits in brilliantly. The color too. Boring to some, but I think the way they've painted everything silver is really cool, almost reminiscent of the Akashi Kaikyo suspension bridge in Japan.

^^^

The older bridge was kind of ugly in my opinion and if it wasn't connected to Yerba Buena Island/Treasure Island it would have been more of an eye sore than curiosity.  The new bridge seems to have taken some of the good elements from the Golden Gate Bridge with the suspension spans but put a modern twist on it that actually works.  Usually I'm not a fan of modern infrastructure design over old but the new Bay Bridge is definitely more pleasing to the eye.

Had a pretty nice view along US-113 when I was coming back from a day trip to Chincoteague VA.  The fog and peeking sun was enough for me to pull over to take a picture (from a parking lot).  This is somewhere between Millsboro DE and Georgetown DE.

I just wish the polarizer didn't cause so much vignetting in one corner...

Usually the vignetting happens when the darker shades of blue are present depending on which way you turned the polarizer filter. If you turn it one way, it would deepen the greens and blues and tack off some of the annoying glare, which works well on reflective surfaces, so, the vignetting is essentially noticeable because of the angle of your polarizer and where you were aiming to shoot the picture. In some cases the vignetting looks cool, but, I guess in your case, you weren't expecting the vignetting to occur. You'd just have to turn the filter the other direction to lighten up the corner before you shoot again. In post-photo, I'd look for some filters to brighten up that corner that was caused by the filter being turned. Which, evidently, you deepened the green and the shadows of the light brackets and removed the glare.

I just wish the polarizer didn't cause so much vignetting in one corner...

Usually the vignetting happens when the darker shades of blue are present depending on which way you turned the polarizer filter. If you turn it one way, it would deepen the greens and blues and tack off some of the annoying glare, which works well on reflective surfaces, so, the vignetting is essentially noticeable because of the angle of your polarizer and where you were aiming to shoot the picture. In some cases the vignetting looks cool, but, I guess in your case, you weren't expecting the vignetting to occur. You'd just have to turn the filter the other direction to lighten up the corner before you shoot again. In post-photo, I'd look for some filters to brighten up that corner that was caused by the filter being turned. Which, evidently, you deepened the green and the shadows of the light brackets and removed the glare.

The latest lens and polarizer I bought tends to cause a vignette more than any other set I've ever had - I suspect the screw mount polarizer is a bit closer to the lens surface than the others.

Old US 101/Salinas Road on the concrete San Juan Grade as seen from Old Stage Road.  The San Juan Grade replaced Old Stage Road in 1915 and is one of the few vintage concrete roadways from the early US Route era left intact.  US 101 as shifted off the San Juan Grade onto the Prunedale Cut-Off by summer of 1932:

I suppose this picture isn't necessarily of the road per se, but it's funny enough that I wanted to post it here under the theory it's something you see while on the road. My brother took this yesterday on his afternoon bike ride. He lives in New Orleans. Corner of Perrier and Webster in that city.

There's a reason 150 is a state scenic byway. I drove as far as I could - to the trailhead at Bald Mountain Pass, which is more or less where the road disappears behind the mountains on the right. Incidentally, that pass is the highest point on the Utah state highway system at 10715 feet.

I agree, these are great photos. Although I personally enjoy the sky being in the photos. Being from the NW, where totally blue skies are really only common part of the year, I find them spectacular and love any photo with them.

I'm kind of a sky fan myself which I think tends to be apparent in my photos.  I also tend to crop windshield glare mostly from the bottom due to my air conditioner vents which usually leave sky in.  Fortunately these roads kind of lend themselves to taking photos with sky and the surrounding terrain.

I wanted to hit Sherman Pass Road and Nine Mile Canyon Road but those were blocked by the fire in the Golden Trout Wilderness.  Two days before the Ebbetts, Monitor, and Sonora day US 395 from CA 89 south to Sonora Junction was closed because of fire.  I've been watching the CalFire incidents and just going when/where I have opportunity.  Oddly the Cascades have almost no fires in the northeast part of the state.

I just wish the polarizer didn't cause so much vignetting in one corner...
A car with a key over it. What's that symbol?

Depending on the airport, sometimes the rental car facilities can be quite far away, maybe even taking a different exit from the freeway to reach the rental car facility.  People renting cars are often unfamiliar with the area, and they may follow signs to get back to the airport, but they need to know how to get to the rental car area specifically because they will return the car first and then take a shuttle to the terminals.

In the case of Sky Harbor it's a prime example of a off-site rental facility...one of the worst IMO.

Indeed, rental cars are on the other side of I-10 from the main airport terminals.  Seems to be about 2 mi from the nearest passenger terminal.  And the airport tram that connects the terminals to the light rail station (which is NE of the terminals) does not connect to the rental car center (which is W of the terminals).

Which requires a lengthy wait and ride on the shuttle.  I feel fortunate that I only had to deal with it a handful of times when I lived in Phoenix.

I don't know all the history at Sky Harbor, but consolidated rental car facilities, where the different companies are all together in one giant parking structure, are relatively recent phenomena.  (The one at Sky Harbor was completed in 2005) In some ways, it is helpful for the ground transporation aspect of airports as there needs to be only one shuttle to serve all rental car customers, compared to each company running its own shuttle.  It seems like a case of bad planning, though, to put it on the wrong side of the airport, when the sky train heads mostly in the other direction (to reach light rail).  I do see that they are in the process of building an extension to sky train to connect the rental car center.

I thought that the leaders of Phoenix made a big mistake as they planned the transportation links for Sky Harbor.  Sky Harbor's terminals are aligned linearly - you can drive by along Sky Harbor Blvd by all the terminals in a near E-W straight line.  (Most other major airports are desinged more in a horseshoe pattern.)  This meant that the light rail line could rurn between Downtown and Tempe by way of the airport terminals in a straight line.  Imagine if the light rail went south from Washington to Bukeye along 16th or the I-10 ROW and then ran directly through the airport terminals and then continued into Tempe.  Travel to the airport would have been a lot easier.

A similar rental car symbol made its way onto an overhead sign at the off-site rental car facility for SeaTac airport, although it's white on blue with a white circle: https://goo.gl/maps/tr4TvNLupQuo5b3x6

As far as off-site rental cars: I guess it depends on how much the airport is growing. If the airport is super busy, I'd rather not mix rental car returns with arriving and departing personal vehicles as well.

It doesn't help that SeaTac is just a miserable airport in general and then you have to cram onto a shuttle bus for the rental facility at the end of it.  Granted, SeaTac is bursting at the seams and said rental car facility is actually fairly nice. 

Out of all the detached rental car lots I regularly deal with I like O'Hare.  It's a very short shuttle and they tend to run very frequently.

They're making progress! The low ceilings and long boring corridors of the old airport are slowly being changed. The N-Gates are the best recent change. Way more airy and much nicer to be in. The new international arrivals terminal looks incredible. One day, it'll be a good airport, but as you say, it's bursting at the seams and it's just hard to build fast enough to keep up. Hence all the construction everywhere and the overall not-great experience for the time being.

Moving the rental car facility off-site allowed them to free up parking in the main garage, which they can sell at inflated prices to wealthy pilots and make a bunch of money. Hopefully for further improvements to the airport. Plus, the old garage didn't contain all rental agencies. Thrifty, for example, was always off-site but now is in the main facility off 518 with everyone else.

It's almost the exact same distance. It's a common question when people drop their rental car off at the airport, if they're not going to the airport immediately, the best way to get to the light rail line. Given the frequency of the buses and the covered walkway to the SEA Airport light rail station, it's usually suggested that people take the shuttle to the airport and then walk to the airport station. Might take a bit longer, but it would be a guaranteed dry walk instead of something that could be wet. More than a possibility around here.

Long term, so much of me hates to have the only connection to the rental car facility be a bus. Some rail-based transportation device seems way nicer. Problem is, the light rail is such a long walk and it's not free. Plus there's no stop for the rental car facility, so there's no point. A 1-mile northeasterly extension of the existing Bombardier Innovia automated trains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_Transit_System) from the N-gates seems like the best option, but that would involve up to two transfers for half the airport (unless the whole system was redesigned to be more circuitous and less of a leg-system), and (big one) a new security checkpoint at the rental car facility. Not to mention a huge investment.

Yes, all the more reason why I liked flying into Tampa and Orlando (by far the two airports I visit the most).  The shuttle to the new rental car facility in Tampa is pretty handy though and doesn't really add much time over the old walk.

Easily people ask because they are likely to see how close the tracks are as they return their car.  It is not that far of a walk, but the pathway appears to discourage walking.  If this gate here were open in both directions, the walk would probably not be that bad.

https://www.google.com/maps/@47.4615416,-122.2910378,3a,75y,249.25h,73.93t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbCEBMDr-1v0MP90YqHrrgQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

It would be unusual for a rental car center to be connected to the "air side" (behind security) transportation system and such is usually not done.

While most "land side" transportation systems do appear to be within airport properties, there are some airports that take advantage of the city's public transportation system for some airport transport functions.  The Minneapolis light rail connects the two terminals of MSP and if your trip is limited to between those two stations, there is no fare charged.  This is smart as it saves a lot of money compared to operating two separate train systems (one to connect city to airport, and one for travel around the land side of the airport).  Given the layouts, if there was some political will, there is no reason why something similar couldn't be done for the rental car center at Sea-Tac.  A couple million in some walkability improvements would obviate the need to operate the shuttle bus system.

While most "land side" transportation systems do appear to be within airport properties, there are some airports that take advantage of the city's public transportation system for some airport transport functions.  The Minneapolis light rail connects the two terminals of MSP and if your trip is limited to between those two stations, there is no fare charged.  This is smart as it saves a lot of money compared to operating two separate train systems (one to connect city to airport, and one for travel around the land side of the airport).  Given the layouts, if there was some political will, there is no reason why something similar couldn't be done for the rental car center at Sea-Tac.  A couple million in some walkability improvements would obviate the need to operate the shuttle bus system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Blue_Line_(Minnesota)

If they were truly desparate, I suppose another light rail station could be constructed in the median of the Airport Freeway. But I think, asking people what they'd prefer, the shuttle would win:

* shuttle: walk right outside bag claim, hop on a very frequent bus, direct access to loading zone at new rental car facility
* light rail: walk quarter mile through parking garage, wait 10+ minutes for a light rail train, then walk another 300 feet from a new station to the facility.

I'm going to go with "shuttle".

The air-side connection idea was to make the buses seem like a long walk. Big issue with my plan is those with checked baggage, since you need to leave the main terminals to get your bags. The departing point for an automated train would absolutely, then, have to be near baggage claim. And the shuttle is already right there. So...hmm. I guess a better light rail system might indeed be the better option.

Traveling to an off-site rental car facility by bus is pretty much a given at 80-90% of the largest US airports.

Yes, all the more reason why I liked flying into Tampa and Orlando (by far the two airports I visit the most).  The shuttle to the new rental car facility in Tampa is pretty handy though and doesn't really add much time over the old walk. 

Tampa has a longish light-rail ride after taking the really-short people mover from landside to airside. I think it's really clumsy, there's no reason to just have the walk from terminal to baggage claim (or ticketing to security, then to the gate).

Luck of the draw with sunrise right behind me.  Kind of made up for not being able to find a good vantage point of the entire bridge.  I went back and fixed the goof I made, the Fernbridge was part of CA 1 that was never finished.

It's amazing. California has such a massive amount of cool shit. It's like its own little country. Although physically it is larger than many countries...I'm sure you get what I'm saying.

I think my favorites from above are of the 1931 Pioneer Bridge, the Samoa Bridge, and (because I'm a sucker for clear skies) the drop down into Clear Lake along 281.

Really great photos as usual, "Max".

CA 180 east of Hume Lake Road looking down into Kings Canyon.  CA 180 can be seen below snaking towards Ten Mile Creek.

Yeah it kind got overlooked this year due to the larger fires to the south. CA 96 and CA 36 also had some fire closures this year as well.  Strangely even CA 299 had a large rock slide, I guess it was a bad year to get stuck on the North Coast.

Google Maps calls that "Fuller St". Did you see any signs indicating that?

I still find it funny that Bodie is a ghost town, when it gets like 700 to 1000 visitors a day. I mean, yeah, none of them live in Bodie, but you're unlikely to be alone in Bodie if you visit during the day.

The thing with Bodie is to get there early.  I have had a lot of luck arriving at 8:30-8:45 AM and occasionally being let in early by a lax State Park employee.  In 2016 I had the whole town to myself for a solid half hour and I was able to get a lot of unobstructed photos before people showed up.

It'll be a long time before I find myself anywhere near Bodie. But I would love to see it without anyone else around. I'm not necessarily looking to grab photos, but I just want to see a true ghost town without people. Most ghost towns barely have any evidence; Bodie is a goldmine (no pun intended) in comparison.

One that I can think of that competes with Bodie is New Idria in San Benito County.  The town was abandoned in 1972 and is a fairly remote part of the Diablo Range.  The EPA declared it a Superfund Site because of the Mercury runoff but its largely intact and relatively easy to access.

Fritz is on crack (really just beyond naive) if he thinks an Interstate is even theoretically possible north to Hardy Creek on CA 1.  The rest of the Shoreline Highway isn't too bad aside from a couple Big Sur like spots but even that is implausible for anything beyond a two lane highway.

Yeah, it was beautiful there, and down in the canyon too.  That's right after we turned around because we realized our car still needed to be repaired (boiling coolant).  I didn't feel like breaking down somewhere on a Manti—La Sal National Forest road.

There is a lot going on in this photo:

-  A white center line can be observed.
-  The asphalt surface is peeling off to the older layer of concrete.
-  Sections of the concrete on the right are being eroded from underneath and subsiding into the lake.

Coalinga Mineral Springs Road at the damaged entrance to Coalinga Mineral Springs.  This area burned last summer and was once the site of a resort called Fresno Hot Springs.  The water running over the road is from one of the nearby springs.  Coalinga Mineral Springs Road was constructed during the 1890s as a stage route from Warthan Canyon.

Not to nitpick, but that's on the Murrow bridge. The Hadley bridge is the other direction with the westbound and former reversible lanes.

Thanks, that's good to know!

I like to get the captions right, but that was an unusual case where one direction has a different name than the other direction, and I didn't spend enough time researching which one was which...after all, they're totally different bridges constructed at different points in time.

Since the Murrow did get mostly destroyed in 1990, the two bridges are actually close in age, "opening" a mere 4 years apart.

Not to be overly technical, but it was just the midspan that was destroyed in the 1990 flood, with the west and east approaches still being original.

That's a throwback for me seeing a storm cloud on Mount Ord.  I used to have to commute to Show Low a couple times a week and usually took AZ 87 coupled with AZ 260.  There was a couple instances it was snowing on Mount Ord but clear or raining on both ends.

For those who have driven on Alaska's Glenn Highway towards Valdez, you get an absolutely gorgeous view of Mt. Drum as you approach Glenallen. It's so dramatic, the mountain appears on the horizon and slowly gets larger as you drive towards it. The highway is visually centered and no matter how many times I've done this drive, I just can't help but love the view every time.

It's actually a repurposed Reno Arch.  Willits definitely got their money's worth getting some flair entering the downtown area.

The Stockton-Los Angeles Road is one of my personal favorites.  There are so many segments that are either abandoned or became modern highways but don't have the notoriety that Ridge Route has.  I kind of look at it as the prototype of US 99/CA 99 in the 20th century and proof that corridors are rarely developed in a vacuum.

The best map I've found depicting the Stockton-Los Angeles Road is the 1857 Britten & Rey's Map.

Perfect spec three-digit miner spade. Love the background scenery (always had a soft spot for the Owens Valley/Great Basin area). The only thing this is missing is a directional banner, as this is shortly past the Nevada border and is clearly on a westward orientation.

Yeah, I bought a lightweight DJI drone last fall. This is one of my favourite shots that I have taken with it.

Knowing very little about drones, does that have its own camera or did you mount a different one to it? The image quality is quite sharp and clean.

It does have it's own little camera affixed to it.  The drone has a camera that is akin to that of a good smartphone camera.  To be honest it's not quite up the quality that I am used to with my mirrorless camera that I normally use, but the camera quality is pretty good.  To my knowledge the DJI Air 3 is the first ultralight drone to have a camera with good quality on it.  I had waited for a long time before pulling the trigger to buy the drone because until then most of the ultralight drones had pretty potato quality cameras.

@Hunty2022, I liked the top photo better when it mentioned Exit 28 (https://www.google.com/maps/@37.6527097,-77.4313351,3a,75y,123.75h,94.41t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1scW80KFU0Zq8MEFS1jZs9hg!2e0!5s20120501T000000!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu).


@CanesFan27, I still think it is odd that I was able to easily do full clinches of US 123 and US 276 on the same day.  The southern endpoints of both routes kinda tease you into thinking that they are more important than they actually are.

Actual constructed segment which was part of the legal definition.  The segment under the pier was built was an unsigned state highway in 1940.  I'm not certain if it was ever actually signed as 187 after 1964.

That is a benefit, but my understanding is the double yellows indicate no stopping/parking on this stretch. If the yellow lines weren't there, you would be allowed to park.

The opposite perspective from Max Rockatansky's picture of Guadalupe Peak. This was taken on the peak, and you can see US 62/180 snaking through the foothills, and in the background to the right you can see the straight line of TX 54 cutting through the wilderness.

Took this earlier this afternoon. I-5 runs from the bottom left towards the top right, I-90 runs across from left to right, and Mount Rainier towers over it all way in the distance. I mainly just like the combination of the roads and the mountain.

The amusing part is getting out there from town included crossing an Autopista (at-grade) and five different types of road surfaces within three miles.

I think the headlight glare makes this look cool.

Here's another up the road where the road is between trees in the same forest.

Just returned from a trip to Jalisco state in Mexico. 

A cobblestone family farm road at sundown near Zacolaco de Torres in Jalisco, Mexico:

That's fascinating.   Is it not unusual to come across these 'cobblestone roads?'

I'm curious how far back in time does this road date?   Am I seeing a volcano on the horizon?

It is a family-owned road that significantly predates Autopista 54D being constructed.  My wife's aunt said the road has been there here entire life (she is 80).  But yes, cobblestone roads aren't uncommon.  In fact, the one in front of the house is a mix of cobblestone patched together with modern pavers:

The hill (Chiquihuitillo Hill) in the background is near the town of Zacoalco de Torres.  I'm unclear if it is volcanic in origin but I haven't seen any overt indications that it is.  This is what I wrote about it a couple years ago after I did some research:

"The area that is now Zacoalco de Torres was settled by the Aztecs in 1264.  The Aztecs settled upon Chiquihuitillo Hill which rests between Laguna de Zacoalco and Laguna de San Marcos.  In 1524 the Spanish arrived in the Aztec lands surrounding Laguna de Zacoalco.  Most Aztecs fled to the south towards Laguna de Sayula in response to Spanish Conquistador Francisco Cortes de San Buenaventura attempting to subdue them by force.  The Spanish invasion prompted the commissioning of the Town of Zacoalco."

Went on something of a ghost town kick yesterday in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  Usually this pays off with all sorts of weird roads and stuff like unique bridges. 

Former California State Route 16 at the old Deer Creek Bridge in Slough House:

The Michigan Bar Road Bridge at the Consumnes River.  The deck was constructed in 1947, I suspect the pilings are likely far older:

Calaveritas Road facing north into what is left of the namesake community and the trestle for Cement Plant Road.

Dogtown Road in Calaveras County at San Domingo Creek.  The namesake community was located nearby (behind where I took the photo):

For the past couple of years I've been on this reading binge about the Aztecs - and for that matter the Incas as well.

Bernal del Castillo wrote a fascinating first-hand account of the Aztecs when he accompanied Cortez.
I also must inclucde the 2 volume set written back in the 1800s by Wm. H. Prescott that was equally as fascinating.

It was recorded how well the road system was put in place by the Aztecs across their empire and I immediately thought there possibly was a connection with these 'cobblestone' roads.

Probably pretty unlikely.  The agave farm is up in the mountains east of town and above the lake basin.  While it isn't impossible I'm pretty sure there wasn't a large enough settlement in the area until the Spanish showed up which would have merited a somewhat sophisticated irrigation system.  The road more or less just dead ends at a steep mountainous incline.

Yeah, without doing some quick research I dunno if the peoples who inhabited the Jalisco region were even subjects of the Aztec empire.  But if they weren't I'm sure they did a lot of commerce with them. 

I believe the Spaniards used their native allies to help conquer the Jalisco area after they overpowered Montezuma & the Aztecs.

Obviously Mexico is rich in history - sadly much of it lost forever.

The ancient 'road system' that connected the Aztec & Inca empires were amazing and duly noted by historians but obviously were created only for human traffic except in the case of the Incas who used llamas.

Those cobblestone roads you pictured are still quite an undertaking nonetheless.
