If you haven't noticed by now, I like to take pictures of scenery.  I was sitting in a small bit of traffic this afternoon, looked out my window and this is what I saw.  What is ironic is that I was on my way to a "scenic spot" a short drive from our house to take a few snapshots.  I never made it.  The line of cars I was stuck in turned out to be a couple miles long due to a pretty bad car accident.  I lost the magic light that real photographers always talk about.  So my rule of always keeping the Nikon D5000 within reach in the car paid off (I only take pictures when I'm stopped in case you were wondering).  Will you be prepared when an opportunity presents itself?
