Self-portrait time lapse

Here's a time lapse of a self portrait session.  A little behind-the-scenes thing.

Sunrise

There are certain advantages to driving over night.  There's almost no traffic, the temperature is down, and it gives me a great deal of quiet time for thinking.

Additionally, I see the sun set and rise.  Better still, I don't have to wake up early for it! 

Highway 95

I was driving to Boise on Highway 95 when something caught my eye.  I didn't quite realize what it was until I actually pulled over and looked at it.  A small waterfall had created a buildup of ice on a small shrub at its base, creating a rather striking ice sculpture.

Fortunately, there was a pullout nearby, so it wasn't even a long walk to get there.

Sunset on I-80

I was driving on I-80 through Wyoming, enjoying an audiobook.  Lee Child's The Enemy.  My logbook reminded me that I needed to take a break, so I looked for a place to pull over.  It's the sort of thing you need to plan ahead for when driving a horizontal building weighing roughly 80,000 pounds, since those sort of things take a certain amount of room.

I found a rest area that was more of a widened section of road than anything.  But it was large enough to park for a half hour, and that was all I needed.  As it turned out, it was a good place.  The sun was setting and clouds were dramatizing the event.

 As far as half-hour breaks go, I liked this one.
