I'm confused, where's the snow?

Love all the photos in this thread - it is often a much needed pick-me up after a bad day!

Someday I'll add some of my own.

Not a travel photo, but a shot of last night's meteor shower.

Travel is not a requirement for pictures in this album, they just have to be beautiful. And that one certainly qualifies ^

Beautiful, and very lucky!

I had forgotten that the Geminid shower was last night, but as I was driving over the Grapevine into L.A., I saw not one but two very large, very bright meteors within the span of five minutes, and a quick Google search reminded me of the event. Nice capture of a neat astronomical event!

I love shots of empty roads. Yours is particularly excellent. Reminds me of the end of Skyfall actually.

Since I enjoy driving (a lot), I like empty roads as well

Thanks

Very nice shot, and so evocative of the Highlands. Well done.
