Extraterrestrial Highway Photo

Photographer’s Note

The delightfully empty (and straight) Nevada state highway 375, a.k.a Extraterrestrial Highway because of it's proximity to Area 51 and it's association with UFO spotting.

The Nellis Air Force Base at Groom Lake in Area 51 is famous for testing secret aircraft, such as 'Blackbird' and the Stealth Fighter before they were de-classified. It is also associated with numerous conspiracy theories, including the suggestion that it holds the bodies of the aliens and the wreckage of a flying saucer which crashed at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

Hello,
You got here a perfect symetry composition. A trumendous depth but unfortunately I would have prefered to have better focus specially on clouds part.
Anyway, pleasant to look at.
Best regards
