What you get from standing in the middle of the road at sundown

Taken Friday evening, I knew something cool was going to show up when I snapped this shot. I'm in one of the more rural parts of NC I've ever spent time in and keep seeing things that make me have to grab my cameras.

When my friend walked outside and said, "Oh! It's my favorite kind of sky!" I headed for my camera bag immediately. To avoid the power lines, I decided to go stand in the road. Glad I did.

This is one of my favorite images I've shot all summer. Definitely in my top ten.

That road, eternally dark and damp, always leading out of town to the same house, the same now seldom remembered history. The story is all but gone as are those who were there. I alone drift back again tonight, to a time before I knew of malformed creatures and a darkness so completely void of light that it could seized your spirit in terror, a time when I was waiting beside that road.

:)

Yes, it is a beautiful picture. i can't help it if i'm twisted. ;=P

"They say" a picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand words cannot describe some pictures, this one included!
