Photos from Drive Home

June 16th, 2008

Was planning (ah, so much optimistic planning) on a longer post about my trip, but haven’t been thusly inspired yet. In the meantime, I took these photos in Kentucky, since I was driving in some truly scary/breathtaking weather. I don’t think they can possibly do the cloud cover justice, but they’re the best I could do one-handed, while driving 85MPH with the other hand.

I would have loved to get some shots of the weather I was fleeing (think clouds of the dramatic, roiling variety) but even I draw the limit at opening the sunroof and one-handedly taking pictures of what’s behind me. Not least because that’s a damn fine way to lose your camera on the highway.

Anyway, my thought at the time (before the rain started) was that I was watching the most amazing show in the world, with the most amazing soundtrack. After the rain started I mostly thought “Crap! Can’t see!”

BTW, it’s about 3:30 pm in these photos, not late evening.
