man & nature # 168 ~ chasing the light

Driving towards the light NYS Thurway - NJ Turnpike • click to embiggenBack from NYC and completely un-rested. Up at 5:30AM and the wife slept while I drove.
These pictures are from our Friday Evening drive to the NYC area. WE basically drove into the fringe of a big storm. The progression from left to right: NYS Thurway approaching NJ, just into NJ on the NJ Turnpike, approaching Secaucus, NJ (where I caught the train into NYC and the wife carried on).
It was quite a show. More NYC stuff tomorrow.

Featured Comment: "Seinberg" posted a link to his picture which was made around the same time as the last of the above pictures were made.
click to embiggenmy response: the wife pointed my camera in the general direction of the same clouds (left side of the attached picture) but she / the auto focus focused on the rearview mirror which allows us to know that at that time - 8:30PM - the temperature was 69˚F and our vehicle was averaging 39.0 mpg.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! Photographing while driving! Every time I do that, I've to hide the images away :)
Andreas - guilty, but only 2 of 3 were mine. the 1 on the right is by the wife
That storm was intense, but the clouds afterwards were even more intense. I took this rushed panorama and this video quickly before going out Friday night.
BTW, which show(s) did you go to? And is it still up? I just moved to the city a month ago and the art scene is a bit overwhelming at this point. I've only done the easy stuff so far: the Bacon exhibit at the Met (and the two photo exhibitions, which are mediocre in terms of photography).
