Monday Window

Vehicle Windows

Normally I don’t take photos when driving. That statement leaves a bit of wiggle room and that is when traffic is at a standstill. On my way home one day last week I found myself in such a situation. Traffic just crawled along. I saw some rising smoke ahead, and then a bit later flashing lights. There was a problem.

When I got abreast of the fire engines blocking all of the other side of the road, the problems seemed to have been taken care of. One fireman was cutting down the trunk of a tree a section at a time. You can spy that activity in my photo.

Here the windows of a fire engine – and more.

Looking forward was just a sea of vehicles – and their windows in one of our “green canyons”.

For good measure, here is the place where traffic on the other side of the road was blocked and turned around – into my side and causing the slowdown.

Now you also know why I don’t have many “drive-by” photos. Trees don’t have many windows.

Clouds over Atlanta

Two years ago I was looking out a window toward the skyline of Atlanta. Interesting windows in many structures. It was evening, 6:48 pm, to be exact. The scene seemed worthy of a photo. I used my iPhone.

The photo did not turn out well. It languished in my archive until just a few days ago when I came across it again. Maybe, I thought there is something there. Lots of windows in the nearby buildings, many more invisible in the structures that form the distant skyline.

So, I played with it. Like we all do, I wanted the image to look pretty much as I remembered it. Our eyes can accommodate the different levels of light and we form a memory that is usually quite at odds with the way a camera records it. Again and again, I came back to this photo, determined to “enhance” it so it is just “right”. Finally, I settled on the version here.

You may not be impressed, but it conjures up memories mixed with the ongoings of that day.
