8/14 Driving to Nashville

Picture taken August 14th 2010

Even while driving I took the time to appreciate the beautiful landscape on an otherwise boring 3 hour drive. Although the road stretched in front of me is an interesting part of the photograph and could represent some big journey in my lifetime, I really wish I could remove it from the picture. The rolling hills and blue sky in southern Kentucky is what I really wanted to capture. The hill in this picture is nothing in height compared to others in the country or even region, but when all you have seen in the past few hours is pavement you appreciate the simple things surrounding you much more. I have lived in Kentucky my whole life and see landscapes like this almost every time I travel, yet every time I pass them I take the time to marvel at their height and how they are covered in lush trees to the point that I took this picture from my front windshield.
