If you have travelled along America's highways you sometimes will see things that are out of the ordinary. Whether it's a hawk sitting on a sign, smoke in the distance from burning leaves, or a barn that sets off the road...traveling these roads allows you to zone out and zero into surroundings you might not see in a big city.
Over the past 30 years I have travelled the highways throughout the Midwest,I have seen a lot while driving. I have been in a storm that spun a car completely around in the median, had a highway close down because of a horrible accident where the truck actually melted under extreme heat from burning fuel, and have witnessed a sports car pass me at more than 120 MPH. I was doing 80 and it was past me in a moment. I saw the car coming up from behind and within a moment is was well past me.
One of my favorite things to do when I am traveling is to get off the beaten track or in this case the well worn highway. By taking an exit and then traveling a mile or so you find more than you ever thought you would.
The photo above was one I never thought I would see. I was in Amish country and in the distance was a buggy and large clouds. It was one of those photos you can only wish for. Because the buggy was moving away I had only a few moments to capture it. It's one of the benefits of looking off the road when everyone is traveling down it.
Thanks for stopping by.
