Traveling in the American West means long stretches of highway with wide expanses of land and sky. These are some of the scenes I captured along the way as we made our way through Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Some were shot through the car window as we moved along at 70 mph, while for others we made quick roadside stops. It's not how I normally take photos, but the landscape was so starkly compelling that I had to share whatever I was able to capture.
