Great looking shot, gives a great feeling of depth and space

God that road would have made me sick! haha.
Stunning part of the world, thanks for sharing.

That road is weird. Do you have any idea why it is so twisty when the terrain looks so flat?

Great capture, looks like a great trip with kind weather too.

It only looks flat from the picture, we spent over 45mins. to go down hill at over 20 degree in a 4wheel drive.

That's impressive then. It must have been fun doing that ride.

Hi HKFEVER;

You were in a car @ 5200M

Jeez - you must have been gasping!

Great image...

I think they make roads like this for safety, to keep the speed of the vehicle reasonable in case your brakes fail. After all, you'd be riding the brakes pretty hard to get down, unless you brake with your engine
Going uphill on such a steep road would be killer on your engine, tranny too...

Cheers,
