Rural America

[Jim Cole]

Couldn't find a thread for this subject, so I thought I'd start one.

I'll begin with this one from a recent trip to west Texas. On 4x5 Arista Edu Ultra and underexposed. Cropped out some of the dirt road on the bottom.

An enlightened life on The Interstate is illegal.

My favorite rural roads are those that seem to come from nowhere, and go to nowhere, but take you where “hurry” is not part of the local language, and time is not of the essence.

This rural Montana road (down in the valley) connects two things, I’m sure, but I’ve traveled only a portion of it.

I can promise you, however, that it doesn’t begin or end at an Interstate.
