A Passenger’s View

I reconcile this passenger imposed life
through a photographer’s lens

Record the road ahead, the passages
find resonance in what lies outside my window.

Love how the trees seem to form an arch in the last window view. ❤ I'd love to be the passenger instead of always the driver. It's all in the eye's of the beholder.

  It really is. For years, it was always me driving, until health took it away. Couldn’t take these pics from the driver’s seat.

    So true. There are advantages to being in the passenger seat. My daughter says to me, “Did you see that!” I reply, “No, I’m concentrating on driving.”

These are beautiful car window views. The narrow, long road is my favorite! 🙂
