The Drive Home

This is a brief shot of my drive home every day. Open country roads take me home as I travel the quiet roadways between fields of corn, wheat, or tree lined roads. On a day like today the view is often quite refreshing, and with temperatures down to the mid 70's it is so nice to drive with the windows open. A wonderful reminder why I love the country.
LOL, I posted my drive home today, too, and it's the opposite of yours -- a city traffic jam bumper to bumper! Somehow I like your picture MUCH better. :) Seriously, love the color tones, the sky, the sense of tranquility.

I love your drive home .... that would be such a relief to travel down that road after a hectic or stressful day at work. Beautiful.

I love slice of life photos like this one. Brian's comment above has put that song firmly in my head now. Take me home...country roads, indeed. I've thought about taking a road shot for a while. You would be surprised by how different my view is - very closed in, like a tunnel. I love the wide open world of your's.

Great shot! I love the colors and the lines of the road and telephone/power lines. Aside from the corn, it could have been taken in my "neighborhood!" :)
June 27th, 2012  
yeah, I like it
June 27th, 2012  
We both have similar views while driving! The sky is so beautiful!
June 27th, 2012  
That looks wonderfully tranquil! What a gorgeous view you photographed!
June 27th, 2012  
What a blessing to leave work and experience this on the way home. Beautiful!
June 27th, 2012  
ah what a great trip to decompress after a busy day at work.. or to get ready to go to work..

I would love to commute like that! I have lived in cities since 1969 and still hate them. Was on a farm till my mid 20's and my heart is still in the countryside
June 27th, 2012  
This reminds me of driving in Michigan and Indiana when I lived there. I miss the open countryside driving.
June 27th, 2012  
Love that opened road!
June 27th, 2012  
Great dof, rick. It's so beautiful to drive on a road without any traffic around. Love those shadows running parrallel to the yellow lines.
June 27th, 2012  
Neat perspective!
June 27th, 2012  
Great Shot Rick!
June 27th, 2012  
Looks like my drive- very appreciative of where I live.
June 27th, 2012  
Beautiful open road! Enjoy the nice temps before the heat arrives.
June 27th, 2012  
Love your drive home and the leading lines - stuck i traffic on my way home now wishing i was where you are
June 27th, 2012  
What a beautiful shot Rick. Looks like a wonderful area.
June 27th, 2012  
Beautifully stated! It reminds me of why I love "this" country. Thanks for sharing your life with me!
June 27th, 2012  
You remind me of the song: "country road, take me home"... Gorgeous landscape, beautiful to drive through.
June 27th, 2012  
Great pov and lines!
June 27th, 2012  
Bet you really unwind on this lovely drive home!
June 27th, 2012  
Lovely drive home... It'nice to be able to relax while doing so.
June 27th, 2012  
so jealous of your commute! i will not begin to speak about LA traffic. :-)
June 27th, 2012  
This is a lovely drive home, Rick. I'm with the others that began singing John Denver's classic tune when they read your caption. Here, in Hawaii, we have the late, great Israel Kamakawiwaole's interpretation of that song... "Mt Ka'ala, West Makaha, take me home, country roads". You gotta' hear it to appreciate it. ;o) Beautiful shot, Rick.

Beautiful commute.
June 28th, 2012  
......and no traffic..now that's a plus.
June 28th, 2012  
Beautiful shot! And a drive like that gives a guy time to think.
June 28th, 2012  
Wonderful perspective and big sky.
June 28th, 2012  
Very pretty- but then I love the farmlands in the Lehigh Valley. The drive around here is pretty too with our sun-dappled tree-lined roads, but I prefer the wide-open farm country or the coastlands. Nice shot.
June 28th, 2012  
Nice perspective Rick
June 28th, 2012  
I think I could enjoy that ride on a daily basis. Half the time, the freeway all looks the same to me when I'm driving to and from work.
June 28th, 2012  
Makes me want to get a convertible and jam to some roadie songs lol. Great shot and love the view :)
June 30th, 2012  
nothing beats a country road!!
July 3rd, 2012  
It looks so peaceful! Unlike where I live! Haha! Love the sky and the clouds! Nice open country fields! I'm so jealous! Nice picture!
July 4th, 2012  
Beautiful, great vanishing point shot!!!
July 8th, 2012  
Nice open road. It can make the drive more peaceful and relaxing that way.
