Driving to New Hampshire at Dawn

Driving to New Hampshire at Dawn Originally uploaded by randubnick

This is a photo I took yesterday on the way to New Hampshire. I enjoy the passenger seat so I can watch the scenery and shoot pictures with my phonecam. This was taken just before sun-up, with the temperature just barely above freezing. I liked the shapes of the trees against the sky and the way the car lights looked through the rainy windshield, so I took this picture. Tonight I cropped the image to get the composition I was after. We usually regard cars and highways as unworthy subject matter for art, but I think it is good to see beauty in what is around you, even though (especially because) it is something that you see all the time.
