For several years, on trips out west, I took photos from the car window with the intention of later working on them to create a mix of different levels of the fuzzy dreaminess that landscapes, towns and cities can take on in the traveler’s memory, sometimes only moments after being viewed, as one pushes on to the next horizon.
Well, I think I finished the 2005 Views from the Road set, which can be viewed here on my art website.
The above pic is from the Painted Desert area in Arizona.
Wonderful slide show. You’ve captured just what it is I love about driving long distances, even though I haven’t seen those particular places before. Something about the wide open, the road, the sky, the sunlight that can take on some larger, deeper dimension.
Thanks, Nina. Been a while. I should write you and say hi.
Yeah, it has been awhile. I think of you often. As usual, very busy at work, working all weekend at one point and parts of weekends, plus the weekday. My brother and his family are with us right now, which is wonderful, but means I’ve been happily occupied with them. But yes, let me know how things are going with you. Write privately if you prefer.
That was wonderful. I could feel the wind in my hair.
