What boredom looks like: photographer as passenger

My Patient Spouse will back me up on this: I am a TERRIBLE passenger on road trips.

I get bored pretty fast. And when I get bored….well, you don’t need to know really a lot of details about that. Other than one of the things I do is take random photos out the window.

Swallows’ nests, and the sun

Up there, where the sun doesn’t shine, was a cluster of swallows’ nests.

The dark swath across the sky

In addition to the gravel road from the other day, we found another one on our way to Trinchera, Colorado.

We also found a railroad bridge that crossed tiny Trinchera Creek. And since we were on a little-used road, it was easy to pull over and climb down to the stream and have a look around. (The graffiti tells me we weren’t the first ones to do so.)

The best part was the way the bridge cut across the sky.

It sure was nice that someone took the time to embellish the boring “road work ahead” sign!

The bright, bright morning

That morning dawned bright, and illuminated the interior of Union Station in a very nice way.
