Traffic is non-existent, the cows aren&#8217;t wandering in the open range, the deer have called it a night, and the cyclists are still asleep. It&#8217;s just me and my coupe, and often times a lucky passenger. This week my dad rode with me. He&#8217;s been a photographer for a long, long time and has great photos from all over the world, but he&#8217;s never taken photos of a car before. It was a first for us both. We started off a little clueless and unable to figure how to get the lighting right in the locations we wanted, but eventually caught our stride. I have a feeling we&#8217;ll be trying it again sometime.<\/p>\n<p>All of these locations are on the route I drive almost every week, but I had never pulled over to appreciate them before. I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful place.<\/p>\n<p>I have not doctored or cropped any of these because I don&#8217;t really have that talent, but if you&#8217;d like a full size version to play with just send me an email. Here are a sampling of the results.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1993\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
