When Darkness Overtakes You

At 70 MPH with dilated eyes, I looked but couldn't see, much anyway. I did see the mill silhouetted against a dark sky as we sped by. I shot!

We were on our way home from my appointment at the Casey Eye Institute in Portland. No, I wasn't driving. We had our oldest daughter along for doing that. I just kept shooting, so much that I felt the little camera get hot in my hands.

Nice photo I like the title. It could have a double meaning considering the lack of manufacturing jobs in the USA

This looks wonderful, Vern! Remarkable color and detail.

Neat looking shot. Did you make it greenish on purpose to have the look of looking through those funny glasses they give you when your eyes are dilated?
Walter Otto Koenig30-Aug-2012 12:55
