You should see the photos taken 3 seconds later!

One of my favorites.

See the guy sleeping in the back of this pickup?

I almost forgot this one!

I decided not to tailgate.

Yes, but he is not easy to see---blends right in.

Trucks ---they could shake hands.



Why we slow way down at curves where we see trucks coming

Nomads,Thanks for the pictures. That old Hwy goes on forever.

This is my favorite vehicle-on-a-Baja-road pic.

This is one taken of the window instead of out of it. We were between Santa Rosalia and San Ignacio and one of those rental motorhomes with a "white nuckle" driver drifted over a bit at the last moment. What a noise, it's a good thing the window was rolled up or the mirror probably would have knocked my head off. I like having my head in Jill's lap but prefer it to still be attached. I was covered with fine glass shards and, as you might imagine it was uncomfortable for a long time. I stopped in Viscaino and bought a roll of masking tape to put on the inside of the window so that it would quit shedding glass every time I hit a bump....dt

One of many favorites:

On a roll (pardon pun):

Check

Corky

Few more---enjoying all of them!











And some very uncomfortable driving--this was after it began to clear -- I was too full of panic to shoot a picture before this

My first ever Baja Road Trip - San Diego - La Paz. I couldn't believe the beauty of Bahia Concepcion.

windshield shots

I was sitting in the camper and looked out the back door and saw Audrey, sitting in the kayak on the beach at Coyote Bay, drinking a Pacifico... what a wonderful memory and a great Baja Moment!

Stimbo takes the honors on this one guys!! Great shots and each tells a story, without words!(windsheild shots Udo!) edit to include Corkys side-up () truck as a contender.

I love the color and story in Stimbos---the first one also really hit me because I recognize some of those characters from our local fiesta.



OK, not out of a windshield---just couldn't resist.

Not thru the windshield, but out the passenger side window, passing a Baja 1000 2007 prerunner south of Ensenada.

Good topic. I am enjoying looking at all the other photos.

I took that same road as Ken.

danaeb, You've put words to the thoughts of many Nomads. Thanks for the pictures wakemall, idleguy, azazvquez, tehag, and Bob H.

Some of my favorite photos through the windshield...

...actually, four of my favorites JUST FROM PICTURES TAKEN TODAY!
Always glad when I take my camera on Sunday drives. I set the Nikon D40 to SPORTS mode and shoot away, sometimes hundreds of pictures a day. Most of the pictures don't turn out, but enough do to make a whole collection. This is a fun topic. Thank you all for sharing...

Well, four favorites through the WINDSHIELD. If side windows are allowed, then I must include my most favorite one of today's batch:

LOVE all the new photos posted---shooting through the windshield is fun.

New one we took on the way down this week.



Sure glad to find out we are not the only ones who shoot through the windshield.

Thanks and look forward to even more --- Dana, loved your comments.

David K and wiindgrrl, Thanks for sharing your photos.

Diane: OOPS, my bad! I saw the title of your thread ('Your Favorite Baja Picture'), and saw a lot of nice photos (not all are through a windshield)... so I added some of mine!

I do have a few through a windshield... stand by!
