laurie and i were in missouri. it was by far the greatest state we drove through. after ohio, indiana and illinois, i felt like missouri was the promise land. the trees were big again, there were hills and mountains and it felt good to be there. we were having a lot of trouble with the air conditioning this day - the day before i had nearly passed out from heat stroke. we spent a good part of this day alternating between historic route 66 and the main road. on route 66, we were able to put the windows down and drive a little slower so the wind wasn't whipping in our faces and my hair. i like the picture of the horse the most. it feels really ironic to be posting pictures of a place that is living when feeling like i'm in the place of the dead - in so many ways.
hey, these are beautiful! and i can totally see the bird on the wire. what an awesome state.
ReplyDeleteDoes it surprise you that I know exactly what you mean when you talk about being surrouded by beauty but being in a place of death? I'm glad to see your photos. It is nice to see things through someone elses eyes.
