@standley: Yes, i was driving the car. Actually it was kinda scary taking this shot coz trucks would zoom by me as i attempted to take the shot. Thanks for asking. I was taken by the beauty on my rear view mirror.
@ttt: Thank you.
@rem_la: Thank you so much for your comment!
@Paula Camps: Muchas gracias!

That's a very, very cool picture, Rags! Very creative, very interesting. In addition to the striking visual, it made me try and figure out when it was taken. If you were driving west from Texas, that must have been a sunrise in your rear view... and a beautiful sunrise it was. Fascinating (and probably very lucky) that the two images in the mirror caught just the right pair of white balances to see the road and then the sky. Of course, then there's the health & safety aspecdt... at least the 18-wheeler was behind you! :-) Thanks for sharing your terrific picture!!

@Tony Duque: Thanks a lot tony.It was kinda scary taking the shot, but it turned out better than i expected. New Mexico looks so pretty in the early morning.

great pic, rags. and how nice to go somewhere where you don't have bumper-to-bumper traffic. i wish california freeways were like that. at least, during commute time.

@Seraphine: New mexico is the place to go to if you want to get away from traffic : )

What a fantastic image. I had to sit and stare for a moment to figure out all of the different views from each angle.

Beautiful composition : the sky, the reflection, and the road. You're really an artist

Top shot, the sunset reflection, the cooler blue sky, the open road never seemed more inviting, I want that journey.

Like specially the tonal contrast blue/orange and the defocused shape of the mirror.

Spectacular shot: drive the car, make the focus with the camera, watch the trucks and may be watch the state patrol!
