Taken at about 7AM in the dry hills just west of Tracy, CA. The morning sun was just beginning to light this area. No color in the sky, seldom any blue this early in the morning.

I just want to express my gratitude to those that saw the interest in my photo. This picture was taken towards the west and just over the mountains a few miles is the Pacific ocean. Early morning fog in that area kept me from capturing any color in the sky, at the same time I wanted to take advantage of the early morning sunrise light from the east. It is damned if you do and damned if you don't. Thanks for the votes and wonderful comments. Autool
Neat shot - love the concept. It would have been nice if you'd gotten some color in the sky. With the absense of color, though, the road isn't quite interesting enough for this to be a really powerful shot. Maybe if you had framed it so there was more diagonal road? 7 - chrisab.
A very beautiful corner of my world, too! Now, if we could keep the idiots from burning 'them thar hills'! I really do love how the road draws meforward into the distance. Makes me want to travel just a little bit further to see what is over the next hill. Too bad you couldn't get a little more blue in the sky, but oh well. Might be a little too yellow, too. A 10 from me. prettyshoes1
what color was the sky? i guess the ground is so light that the light meter makes the sky disappear. tried different times of day? your grandma must love all the stars at night, i'm jealous. tried long exposures at night? they come out real nice sometimes.
I looked at this a long time - I like the sky being completely out as the ridgeline makes the road disappearance a point to which my eye is drawn - the key in your shot is i think to force the eye to follow the line of the road out of view and it is done well here ! great pic! 8 sgtpepper6344
Really nice! The rolling curves of the road take lead my mind down and around and up......! The only negative of this beautiful picture is the white color of the sky. Doesn't look natural.
