Blinded by the Sun
March 17

I-40 West Bound

Submitted for the March Monochrome (or almost) Challenge.

Driving West out of Nashville can be blinding this
time of year. This song came to mind and my 40D
was sitting next to me in the passenger seat...

Everlast "Blinded By The Sun"

I met a woman in West Virginia
Said her name was Alabama
She from a little town outside Savannah
Where everyone talk that country grammar
She said she killed a man down in Atlanta
He beat her and he drank til he couldn't stand up
He told her that he loved her but he couldn't stand her
She caught him in his sleep hit him with a hammer
Then she sold her car and she bought a gun
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun

Blinded by the sun...

Her breathe was sweet, her eyes were pretty
She said her zodiac sign was cancer
She was on her way to New York City
Trying to get a job there as a dancer
Then she asked if she could ride home with me
Now I'm still thinking on the answer
She pulled on love She don't take pity
She'll break your heart if you give her the chance to
If Grandma's got an Uzi and it weighs a ton
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun, blinded by the sun
Sun sun sun...

Lord have mercy on me for all the things I've done
I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun
Don't forsake me Lord I'm not the only one
I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun
Blinded by the sun

And Grandma's got an Uzi and it weighs a ton
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another Broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun, blinded by the sun.

A nice change from the usual flat horizon sunsets you see so much of.

But it does make a very nice image. At one place I worked, I had to drive east in the morning and west at night - it was a killer this time of year.
Antonis Sarantos17-Mar-2009 22:51
Very nice indeed!

Lovely, except when your driving.
Nice one.

Nice one Scott.

It's times like these that it pays to clean the inside of your windscreen :o)
Super watery-sunset feel!
