to frame the sky
Yes, this is a u-turn shot: the sign slide past before my brain registered how cool that hole was. But as soon as it caught up, I turned around to get the shot. I had to. (Also: I had to do it in color. Trust me: I tried a black and white version but the image just insisted on being in color.)

I guess my quest for a new obsession has ended….good thing it’s only a 30 minute drive from home.
