X1 Road Trip Pics (Mineral Gray)

[Itsed65]

I have always loved Hwy 70 in Northern California along the Feather River since I first road it on my VFR800. I had the day off, so I grabbed some cameras and headed north. These were all shot with my trusty 5D2 and 24-105L. You will notice I did forget to raise the passenger side visor on a few of these. I didn't even catch it until I got home and started looking at some of the files. Ah well, I can always go back again. The road is an absolute blast to drive.

Some shots are tougher than others with the morning sun not cooperating with the direction of the road.

I stopped to take a picture of a train that was making its way down the canyon, and while I waited, I had a curios visitor check me out.

After the train passed, it was time to head home, but it was a great day and a great drive!

Beautiful color in and out of the sunlight.
Also, the X1's hood might be my favorite BMW hood ever made.
