Critique Welcomed Road To The Mountains

West Coast Correspondent
Heading North on Interstate 17 from Phoenix, up over the Mingus Mountains - the late summer sun is pumping up the cumulus clouds - we'll have thunderstorms by days end I think.

Gorgeous image, Chris!

The sky is very dark immediately overhead, but curiously light in the distance. A filter effect, perhaps?
 
Inviting, isn't it? That 18mm is a nice lens.
Thanks @Rob MacKillop - the 18 is a firm favorite - gets unfair bad press online, but apart from a little chromatic aberration (which can be fixed in PS) it's a lovely piece of glass
 
Those roads are so straight and boring...but those clouds sure give you something interesting to see. Really nice shot Chris.
Thanks @Glenn Clabo - The cloud formations were amazing, and did indeed produce rain and thunderstorms later in the afternoon.

Here's an alternative view taken off-road, looking up to the distant mountains from the south

Thanks @Brian Moore - well spotted, ND grad to help the sky balance with the darker landscape
