State Highway 73 near Arthurs Pass, Canterbury, New Zealand

A truck heads away from the main divide and the rain those mountains act as a catalyst for on its way to the drier east coast and probably Christchurch. It was definitely heading for me though and I preferred not to linger. A wide angle focal length belied it's distance from me.....and it wasn't lingering either.

Nice shot! I remember driving there, and up through the pass. There actually are straight roads in NZ! Well done. You have caught the atmosphere well.
