ROADSIDE - BACKROADS NEAR FERGUS, ONTARIO

Waking up to the alarm clock at 4AM is a royal pain in the a**. I'm tired,
groggy, dazed, and if I didn't pack my camera gear the night before, it
would be a seeming impossible pre-dawn task. The hour of driving in the
dark only brings me awake with a coffee by my side and the car stereo
blasting like it did when I was a teenager. But once I get out into the
countryside backroads, the stereo gets turned down, the morning light
starts to creep up, and I can finally justify (at least to myself) that,
"yeah, okay, maybe waking at 4AM wasn't such a bad idea after all."
