I took this photograph this weekend on a get away to California, America's furthermost left, geographically and arguably, politically. My car had not, until that point, ever traveled that far west, it felt as though I was trekking into unknowns, like those pioneers had done, a hundred and fifty years ago in their westward expansion. This was the first time I had driven, explored by myself, so far west; the last time I had even been to California, was when I was five years old, and even then, only to visit Disneyland. At the same time, I feel the times in which we live, considering the historic election and inauguration of President Obama, is the furthest "left" our country has ever gone. Even though the pioneers might have geographically succeeded in realizing Manifest Destiny, I think America (today) has taken another (progressive) step in recognizing "The American Dream."
What i like on this picture is how the sun refletcs on the clouds it looks pretty cool. Also you took it at a perfect time due to the fact that the incoming cars didnt have the lights on, otherwise it wouldve been messed up. nice pic btw :)
ReplyDeleteThis photo is a very nice, easy going photo. Lots of people love Cali. I personally think this photo is nice, but it seems flat and long.
ReplyDeleteNot that its boring.
