I love how this image speaks so eloquently and honestly to the reality of many travel experiences. It's easy to gravitate to the exotic vistas and colourful characters that one encounters worldwide, but this harsh, wet, grey image taken from inside a vehicle reveals an authentic vibe that works a treat.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Nothing energises one’s picture taking like travel! Inspired by new sights and sounds, the camera is always on hand to capture the architecture, the nature, wildlife, and people that you never want to forget. Travel is not always exotic and remote, it can be local travels to explore nearer to home - an imperative as we look to reduce our footprints.

Many aspects of the 'travel experience' go unnoticed and are barely even given a second glance. This image reveals one such easy-to-miss moment and acknowledges it with the reverence it deserves. It is a lovely composition and artfully converted to black and white, but above all else, it is nicely seen!

Epic roads are featured a lot in this 'travel' theme, and it's a fine choice of subject that speaks perfectly to the sense of 'journey'. However, this photo stood out to me for its adventurous spirit and the suggestion of an unknown vista just around the corner.
