Out the window

I have always enjoyed a leisurely road trip across the country, and have many fond memories of my journeys decades ago from Austin to LA and back to visit family and friends. As time goes on, though, and the country seemingly outgrows its infrastructure, the simple act of driving requires increasing amounts of energy and focus. I mean, I can't even remember the last time I used cruise control. These days, I actually welcome my time in the passenger seat, and if your route includes some of the smaller country roads, you can often get pretty decent images shooting out the window of the car.

You never know what you’ll see when you embark on road trip. Most of the time, the scenes we observe out the windows of our cars just click by like the frames of a movie, soon to be forgotten. It is so easy to just drive through with the straightforward goal of getting to your final destination, kind of like trying to get to a new level in a video game. We are getting better at taking the time to stop and experience the best of the local areas we drive through. For this photograph, I just enjoyed the unintended pun of this sign for a foreign car repair place.
