Good evening friends. Today I worked twelve hours. Got disgruntled at times, flabbergasted at times, and downright frustrated at times. But what the Lord had planned for me on my commute home put me at peace, no, put me in awe. And in my place. I had to pull to the side of I-10 three separate times to capture His work. Of course, what choice did I have? None, really.

That famous Life magazine photograph of a small plane crashing into a pick-up truck as the truck driver leaps to safety, the photographer remarked: "If you carry a camera with you every day of your life, you get a shot like this about once every ten years."
His philosophy is serving you well.
These are awesome shots. I know exactly how you feel. My day sometimes at least in the work sense starts a bit later. With that being the case I am usually going home at dusk. As I drive across the bridge from New Jersey into Penn. there more times than not are some awesome sunsets. You look at them and no matter how many problems you have in that day and in your life they all seem small in comparison to the sheer magnitude and beauty of that sunset. I have taken aa few pictures of them myself. Now mind you I said "as I am driving across the bridge". Unfortunately you can't stop and take those pictures there. So they are more of a mobile variety and also with a cell phone camera. Maybe a little bit crazy and dangerous but the shoys even with a cell phone are beautiful. I need to get them downloaded on to here soon.
They went and started construction on that bridge in a long term project. With that being the case those shots have become impossible in a one lane cattle shoot. It was okay to do it on a three lane side of a bridge when there is no one in front, beside or behind you put on a bridge with about half a foot to spare on either side and bumper to bumper because of being forced into that cattle shoot it is a different story all toogether. I'd still like to take those shots, problem is if I do they may be the last pictures I ever take. hmmmm, do you think that is what the mean when they say "going down in a blaze of glory"? ;-)
Beautiful shots. It just makes all the nonsense you have to put up with during the day worth it somehow, doesn't it?
the divided sky--a "normal" blue on this side of that cloud formation, and a "moody" red on the far end.
it's almost as if, were one to drive steadily into that setting sun, things might undergo a few...
changes.
y'know?
There was a spell when I was crossing Jersey every year and a lot of times I've traveled through Scranton. Trying to think where that bridge might be you're talking about. Perhaps I've crossed it.
Very breathtaking pictures my friend.
I always thought since I was a little girl, that Jesus was standing on clouds like that with the light beaming from them~
I guess that I still do~
Thanks for stopping and taking these pictures~

When I was a small child I used to think the sunbeams shining through clouds like that meant the door to Heaven was open for someone. I've always loved sunsets.
