Over the weekend I made a whirlwind road trip from Georgia to Oregon. We literally didn't stop for anything but fuel, which made it tough to do any photography. I did get one keeper, though, at a truck stop in Green River, Utah.

I agree with Frank on the location. You seem to be a little far from the subject though.

Thanks guys. I suppose I could have stood closer, or cropped it down. But I wanted the background to kind of tower over (and around) the trucks to demonstrate the vast open-ness of the area. I was trying to make a big subject (the trucks) seem small. What does everyone else think?

Nice pic.. I have been to that truck stop a few times myself.
I like the sign about last stop for 125 miles....
