The ride and reflections



photo




It was a Mitsubishi Endeavour, nothing flashy but a decent SUV for a family of four. We clocked around 2000 miles on it, pretty much living in it for about 7 days. But, 7 days of pure un-adultrated fun.

Our drive included visiting cities like - Beaumont, Joshua National Tree Park, Kingman, Flagstaff, Sedona, Verne, Cottonwood, Jerome, Grand canyon South, Desert view point, Page, Secret Canyon, Mesquite, Las Vegas....
Some of the national parks we visited - Joshua National Tree Park, The Sedona Park, Jerome Historical Park, Secret canyon, Horse Shoe bend, Zion National Park.

And ofcourse all the Ross's. TJ Max, Premium outlets, Michael Kors, and anything that sucks money.....


Here is the complete map/itinerary


#1. The SUV windshield, the sky and Grand Canyons come together to form a unique perspective. It was a difficult shoot to capture the reflections, yet to keep the see through at the minimum. The SUV sure has multiple roles to play.

#2. The road beautiful, view colorful.
It was mesmerizing view outside. We had stepped out to capture the beauty. Realized towards the end, that the reflected gleen off the SUV was equally beautiful.

#3. The world behind
We were traveling at more than 70 miles (around 110km/hr) but the world left behind still held a beautiful sight.
