Driving Into Nightfall

On the way home from Beckley this trucker passed me. I was doing almost 75mph going down the biggest hill between here and Beckley, the one with the old tunnel in it which aliens now use as an airport and the Government claims it does "training" in, but that's another story. Anyway, I was doing almost 75mph and this guy passed me doing about 80mph, and we were in a 60 mph zone!
The toll booth attendant looked at me like I was weird when I snapped this one!
And finally, my favorite of the trip, I64 just before the Greenbrier Street Exit Ramp. Can you make out the capitol? The harsh streak of light is from the light posts and my favorite part of the photo is the reflections in the side mirror. I really got some interesting shots with the slow shutter speeds and for safety, they were all shot in the Program mode and I wasn't looking through the viewfinder! I don't have a pocket cam so I have to use my Digital Rebel as my point and shoot camera! They take really nice photos and this is the 6.2MP model, they are now up to 8MP.

Slow shutter is a lot of fun.. Rick lee has been doing some of that here lately.

Yeah, I saw his right after I got back into town with mine. You gotta do something to break up the boredom on the road!
