Madness In Macadam

I already know.

Pictures on this website have been taken from moving cars, in the rain, the snow, the bright shiny day with harsh glare, all sorts of adverse conditions. If you don't have a better picture you're willing to share, don't tell me how bad the pictures are. I already know.

Pardon me, who put the tree in just that spot?

Much better, thank you

I was not destined to get the shot of those cliffs.

It’s not modern art, but a guard rail at 70mph, after an encounter with a pothole caused the camera to jump.

Now the trees and the power poles
are ganging up on me.

And signs for road work.

 

 

Every time we stopped, I’d clean the bugs off.

Within minutes, one more junebug would do a kamakazi on my windshield, right in the middle of my best shots.

Romantic sunset,

I didn’t even know I’d taken this shot till I downloaded all the pics.

 

And there you have it, folks. The joys of taking pictures from a moving car.
