Sky Views at the Off Ramp
I wonder…
Why do I see some of the most beautiful cloud formations and spectacular sunsets while I’m on the ramp exiting the highway? Seriously? Look at those cloud masses and those colors! The traffic light will turn green at any moment and I don’t have my camera in the car with me and I have no time to get a good photo with my phone.
There’s something about the pathway of the off-ramp. It’s elevated so I get an open view of the sky and setting sun. Happens every time! I try to commit as much as I can to memory yet it’s difficult to recreate the experience on canvas. All I can do is savor the moment and soak in as much as I can.
Let’s see what vistas tomorrow brings.
