Thanks for the information. I didn‘t know that she is also a photographer.

As a writer and former actress, she no doubt has an eye for imagery and compostion, and with today's advanced camera technology, all you have to do is to push one button to get a correctly exposed photo. I don't think the Tracker photo is particularly special, though. Looks like a Microsoft Windows background.

And that Eric Clapton cover is just horrid.

An image of an actual old sock* could've been better.

I don't know what your search criteria were, but if you search for "highway straight nevada", you get a lot of hits similar to the cover photo.

I just saved the cover picture and uploaded it to google images...

The truth is that to take a picture like that you only need a good cammera and the idea of composition you want in the picture, and that's all. A friend of mine took lots of similar pictures in his way to Nevada some years ago that are even better than that one.

However, despite not being original, I LIKE IT. It kind of suggest some americana sound... I can't help listening "Sands of nevada" in my head.
You might get lucky, now and then

I agree. Interesting how one make associations. Imagine if this was the cover photo:

By the way, I wish the forum software had a function for displaying photos from a URL address instead of having to download and then upload to AMIT:

In this case, you can enlarge the cover pic and put it at your living room wall ;D Great landscape pic with some letters in front...

I miss only the Telegraph Road. But maybe he is there:)
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home
