31/365: Snowy Commute

I have been making a concerted effort to take my camera "wherever I go", which includes taking it to work. Today, with 5" of fresh snow, it was slow going on the highway, except for the semi trailers who were passing and kicking up snow.

When the sun came out, I had to take a picture - but I was very safe - I didn't even look in the viewfinder - I just put the camera lens to the side of my face and snapped away. I didn't even adjust the settings. Thank goodness for autofocus! Here are the two pictures I took.

    These are awesome and I love your tilted perspective on these. . . it really adds to the colors and gives a disorienting effect like the snow can often do.

    These are GREAT. I'll have to remeber to put the camera next to my face. I always put it on the stearing wheel.
