5:30AM... no traffic on the road!

Sunday morning, Labor Day weekend and I am heading to the hospital. There is virtually no traffic on the road. I am a critical care nurse. I wonder what my day will be like. Who will my patients be? Will they have a life threatening emergency or will they be stable. Soon I will know.

7:30PM... coming home from work. Tired and hungry. It was a busy day. Late admissions. All patients stable. My day is done. Eat dinner, post this and then go to bed.
Tomorrow... a day off.

I love this stark, lonesome night view. It really does portray the mood you talked about in your narrative. Very clever! I'm glad you get a break!

Yes it is my happy hour, at home I just walk around the block, but in summer, I just take the car and go photograph A spot located nearby the day before, and that untill My driver calls me, and request I pick her up at the hotel so we can go get breakfast. :)

Oh wow, you have a high profile & very important career Fay, you really earn your days off! This is a superb capture of the roads by night!

That is a very long shift; I am a retired nurse; I agree patients come first; the paperwork later. Enjoy your time off.

This is the best time for driving. Enjoy your holiday day off!

Important job! When I was in the hospital in May and June, the ICU nurses were amazing in their care. (I also work in a hospital as a Chaplain.)

Wow, you have the street basically to yourself. Enjoy your day off tomorrow!
