05-12-2004

This was taken on my way to work this morning. This is a rear-view mirror shot. I thought it was cool the way the light looked coming through the cars and reflecting off the pavement, so I snapped off a picture the easiest way possible (while driving, just aim at the rear-view mirror and snap one off!) This is about 50-60 MPH traffic, so I couldn't just lean out the window and aim back without being slightly dangerous.
