Drive to Escape
Driving has always been an important part my life, its been there as a method of escaping from it. To clear the mind completely to were all your thinking about is shift points and calculating risk, or if you need to think just slow down and get lost. Today was one of those days where I just needed to drive to get lost and it was perfect whether that gave that wonderful strange surreal mood; gray sky’s and rain.
I started out going West (I think) and just looked for windy roads. Along the way I found my new favorite stretch of road; sharp banked bends, blind hill tops that make your ass start to come off the seat and all this with winter tires and rain soaked roads. I also decided to take photos along the way to share in the hopes that they might give a sense of the clarity that I found, along with showing some cool shit you see when driving no where. This may seem backwards after looking at the photos but I have always found peace in blur and confusion. Strangely enough this is how I remember my drive this morning when thinking about it, little snap shots here and there.
