Russel Ray Photo Contest...Darn Freeway!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Aubrey and Associates Realty

One of the beauties of Interstate 15 in Southern Utah, is that it comes close to some extremely beautiful areas.  That is the case with Interstate 15 from Saint George to probably Provo.  After that it still has some beautiful mountains, but the valley is all city with some exceptions like Utah Lake and the Great Salt Lake.  That is until you get North of Ogden, then you can see the beautiful green valleys again.  Here you can see what I mean:

I just have that darn freeway running through the otherwise nice picture!  You can also see the Rest Area in the lower left corner.

If it wasn't for that "darn" freeway... you probably wouldn't have been able to get to the place where you took the pic, right?

Cameron, actually, I do know the back way, it is mostly dirt road, but I could get there!

Yeah freeways are bad but what I really hate is when you see a lovely pastoral scene and you can't crop out the power lines.

Tony  You may lack some of the 18th century buildings we have in Virginia, but you more than make up for it with scenery.  This photo certainly points that out.  Best of luck in the contest

Good morning, Tony and Darcy. It never fails. You have a beautiful vista and it is ruined by power lines, highways or radio towers...

Actually, when you think about it, the "darned" freeway provides scale for the majestic mountains and the landscape it meanders across.

Tony & Darcy, It seems I am always trying to find a location to take my photos where I can avoid the man made objects -- it seems they are everywhere -- especially paved roads. Have a great weekend.

Rob, I agree!  That is why I am hoping that Russel, Jim and Eric will see fit to pick me in this contest.  Yes, I know that I am biased, but I am ok with that in this one instance.

Jeanne & Ralph, I couldn't agree more, another bane of my existence or the existence of many of my photographs, Power lines!

Keith, Thank you!  I do appreciate that, we find it very beautiful here!

Joshua, Thank you!  I really appreciate your photos as well!  They are always excellent!

John, Thank you!  I am hoping!

Kathy, Thank you!  Can you pass that along to Russel, Jim and Eric?

Michael, Ain't that the truth!  Have a great one!

Michael, I know, Thanks!

Myrl, This is true, but I still think that it mars the photo.

Gary, I feel your pain!  I guess that it is progress!

I kind of like the freeway in the picture.  I am someone that enjoys man-made objects and their perspective.

Tony,

Like Chris, I like the freeway, it does complete the picture.  Man's creation with nature's creation.  It is a wonderful contrast. A

Chris, I can see that, it is a lot easier to get the scale with the freeway in the photo!

Alexandra, I can understand that, it does create quite a contrast.
