night drive



night drive, originally uploaded by robayre.

I was driving late tonight and I noticed the way the corn fields caught a car’s headlights. It struck me as a real beauty, but I don’t think I was able to really capture it with my own photograph here. I’ve always loved the feeling of driving on country roads when the surrounding fields are high. It feels kind of like a labyrinth, and kind of like your alone in the world (in a good way). I’ll will be sad once all the fields have been harvested and we can see the flat ground around us for eternity. I’ll get over it soon soon though, because that’s a different kind of beauty of it’s own.

I added the text to my photograph with “headlight” design details for fun.

Good night, sleep tight!

    I have often appreciated this nuance as well… I wonder if it is something that would be better represented with motion film, b/w, slightly grainy….?
