The Great Sunroof Caper! by cjwhite

The Great Sunroof Caper!

Today I did the craziest thing I've done so far to get my 365 pic! We were driving on the interstate and the clouds were so beautiful! Big rays of sunlight were shining everywhere. I told my husband it would make a great pic, but our windshield was dirty! Ours never looks nice and clean like Richard@chard's windshield! :0)

He asked if I wanted a pic! I told him I did, but I was afraid to stand on the side of the busy interstate. He looked at me, pulled to the side of the road, and opened the sunroof! I really didn't have time to think how ridiculous I might look! I unbuckled my seatbelt, stood on the seat, and climbed through the sunroof! I took three shots, as the big trucks and cars whizzed by!

I told my mother about it and she rolled hers eyes and shook her head! LOL! My family knows about my 365 addiction!

I am just really hoping I don't see a pic of me somewhere looking like some crazy woman taking pics of the sky from the sunroof! I bet I made a few people really wonder what in the heck I was doing! LOL! It was FUN!!! :0)

Thank you so much for viewing and commenting on my pics! A special thanks for faves on my Shining Heart pic! :0)
Love the photograph and am chuckling over the story! I bet some of my neighbors look at me funny as a crawl in the grass to take pictures of buttercups too!

Some people just do not understand what drives us to do these things, LOL. It turned out beautiful, now get back in the vehicle, sit down and get your seatbelt on.

And well worth all the effort! Of course you did the only sensible thing and it was your duty to bring us this brilliant shot. Well done!

You daredevil you! lol! My husband had to talk me out of stopping on the side of a major highway to get out and take shots of bear cubs on the side, so I totally get it. Well worth it for this beautiful shot though!

Stunning light beams. Love it. Great shot.

Beautiful sky. I love the ray shooting out from beyond the clouds. I take sunroof picture of the sky sometime but I've never gotten to nerve to acually stand up and do it. Mine are usually just sky unless theres a tree overhead.
