July 19th:
This may not look like much, but to me it is the best sight in the world. This is the street I drive on when I'm about to pull into my apartment complex, and to me, this view says "I am done with work & going home for the day!" In answer to your question, yes, I took this while driving, but in my defense the shot had to look exactly as I see it when I am driving home (and I was only going about 2 miles an hour) :)

ahha .. join the ranks of those totally irresponsible dpc ppl who not only drive, which is a fearful thing in itself, but photograph while they are driving .. i am as guilty as anything .. havent done it for a while after a bit'v a shock .. dont worry, no-one was at risk !!! .. its just that i had camera at 200mm zoom and didnt realise just now close the other car was .. and i talk about the dog not having much upstairs !!! ..
i was on a country road so it wasnt that bad .. also because of the distortion i had wandered a bit onto the other side of the road .. aghhhhhhhhh !!! .. naturally i was able to correct my error before crashing head-on into the other car .. this fact is obvious i spose coz i'm writing about it now .. . the look of fear and possibly anger on the other person's face as they zoomed past was enough to put a hold on anymore of my drive by shootings .. and that my story !!!!!! ... :):)

Nice idea for capturing a feeling in your photo. Lol how did you know that you were only going 2 mph?

Great story and a lovely capture of a great moment in your day.

Certainly I would not worry about the fact that you took a photo while driving as a woman taking photographs while behind the wheel of a car is only marginally more dangerous than a woman behind the wheel of car car anyway, and at 2mph that is also about right for your gender

LOL! That's funny. Shooting while driving - who hasn't done it. Thanks for sharing the street and the context.

I really like these "slice of life" shots. I bet one day you'll look back on this picture with great fondness. It's also reassuring to see that you used the P&S instead of dSLR.

Thanks for sharing the notes. I have stretches of road like that, too. I've never had the nerve to shoot from a moving car while driving -- even at 2 mph.

I like the story behind the shot :)

And I know what you mean... I think I've taken more pics in the past 19 days than in a couple of months prior to that.

Someone will think of a new challenge I hope

You say, TWO miles an hour? Oh my oh my! LOL... I agree about needing the image as it appears. It's funny how sometimes I take roads that are so familiar to me, but they always remind of very particular times in my life. This is what this reminds me of. Great image. I only wonder how a bit of a bump in the contrast might really make this pop? Although, then again, maybe not ;) And I agree... what will we do in 31 days?

I love the photo description! :) I also love coming home from work. It is such a relief. I really do like the processing you have done on this photo. It looks very painterly.
