Dusty Moments -- America's Finest Blog

Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

The Lonely Hi-way

In previous posts we have discussed lonely Hi-way and its draw. I've always have been drawn to the road, and mostly due to a careful and proper up-bringing, I have not skirted my responsibilities to take off running down it. I've been working at the unpleasant hour of 5 AM lately and its those quiet drives to Bellevue which are the hardest. It has taken a bit of time to understand why, but I have got it now, for the majority of my life setting out to drive someplace at 4:30 AM would be the start of an adventure. Now its to pay a mortgage. Damn my careful and proper up-bringing. Oh well, life is good, even if driving to work at 4:30 AM is not. In honor of the nagging feeling to keep on driving, here are Lonely Hi-way photos taken by me.
Enjoy
