Looking at these photos I can’t help but realize how big and majestic our world really is. People talk about how small the world has become. The world hasn’t gotten smaller, in fact when I look at these photos the world has gotten bigger and more exciting. What an incredible roadtrip in images. Thanks for sharing the inspiration.
Thanks Matt. They’re not quite Matt Koenig Photography, but I do what I can. It’s crazy when you sit back and realize how much of the world there really is to see. There isn’t enough time to see everything!
Great pics Joel! Check out these 2 I took recently:
First one named by a friend “God’s little island”:

What an incredible journey! I’m feeling oh so inspired!
We had a lot of fun. You should go sometime!
Awesome Pictures! Thanks for sharing.
🙂
Joel-Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing your trip! Going out west is definitely on my list.
Katie
Thanks Katie. Make it happen!
Awesome Joel! Just amazing pics. Really makes you think about how big this country really is, and all the different sites you can see when driving across it. 🙂
Thanks Marla. They’re not quite Marla/Jeff photos, but they’re something. Sadly, I can’t take much of the credit. Nature was doing most of the work 🙂
Man, really gorgeous and inspiring pics. It makes me think of how much of this country, this world, I have not seen. Time to get busy. 🙂 Thanks.
Maybe we’ll have to be planning a roadtrip sometime in the future? 😀
Three words … I AM JEALOUS! Next four … In a good way! 😉
Haha. I’m glad it’s in a good way. Now go make someone else jealous!
Joel,
Excellent! The road trip, skydiving, WDS . . . lots of Good Stories in a short time!
Kurt
Tons of good stories :).
NICE…
Forgot to tell you about one of the things on my bucket list. It involves tricking out a van and doing the west coast next summer. Work on a weed farm, do some wwoofing, volunteer at some festivals, shower infrequently. Your fantastic photos (especially the one of two fist-pumping shadows) has renewed my will!
You are a hippie :). That sounds awesome though. Gotta make sure it’s a VW van, though if you end up going :).
WHOA! 🙂 Time for me to get doing again. I’m happy, I’m going to be bringing more income in (yay for living more dreams with that money!!). I also got a big lesson this week, someone close (my friend’s husband, same age as me – 41 – died from brain tumors, etc). Time to get to it!! What a great lesson and I adore all your pictures!! Thank you so very much for sharing (you can email me the link if you have more :)) PS I live near Minneapolis and was born where you’re moving! Have fun on YOUR next step!!
I’ll be putting a bunch more up on my flickr account in the next few days.
AMERICA!!!!!!!
Haha. So he got that from you!?
Great photos Joel, really enjoyed them. Glad you had such an epic adventure
Thanks Justin. It was pretty awesome 🙂
Well that looks lovely. I think its time for me to get my buns on a road trip again! Nice choice for a photo heavy post though.
You should go! If you do, let me know what route you decide to take!
AWESOME! I love the photos. I can’t wait to travel. I hope you enjoyed your adventure. My favorite picture is the one with the rear view mirror.
I definitely pulled over to take that one 🙂 #savedriver
The sky is so big. Much bigger than when its barred in by skyscrapers. I’ve got to go move those skyscrapers out of the way (^_~
Get your caterpillar and start moving. It’s gonna be harder now, that you’ll be a downtown city girl.
