Rest Area on I-44 at mile marker 235, west of St. Clair, MO. One of the few, if not the ONLY Rest Areas in Missouri built in the median. The eastbound rest area sits at a higher elevation than it's westbound counterpart.
Roya and I are on a road trip from Seattle to San jose and since I have an iPhone I'm going to use it to live photo-journal our trip.
I think all the Washington state rest areas have free coffee, so we got some at the Marytown rest area south of Olympia.

I stopped by the rest area on the way home to catch the sunset and peek at a little metafilter before I got back to my house.

Here's a very different treatment of the Bronson Hospital park bench photo I posted a year ago as part of my 366 Snaps project. The bench offers a shaded place to escape from the nurses and interruptions and general boredom. But not the worries.
Besides, it looks like a place from a fantasy tale.
As I noted earlier, this was the first photo I seriously reworked using Bibble Pro's built-in tools. This version's been cropped, desaturated a bit, and had the Black slider pushed way off to the right. Plus some lesser-impact stuff. (The B/W version features tricks to push the contrast up....)
(As usual, I did the final sharpening and the frame in Photoshop Elements.)
If Anyone can explain this sign, please let Me know. It's at the Alabama / Florida state line rest area.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - This is the last picture I took of Montana. It's been a couple months since I left, but I miss it everyday. Still, I'm thankful to have spent 3 months there. On this early November day snow squalls were moving around the hills and valleys and the golden light became beautiful right before sunset. This view was actually right behind a rest area on Interstate 15. I stitched 2 images together for a wider view.
Do you remember the Garbage Gobbler? Created in the 1950s and placed across the province in B.C. Parks and at points along BC highways in order to “Keep Beautiful British Columbia, Clean and Beautiful,” Garbage Gobblers were a truly cool piece of transportation history. Sadly, Garbage Gobblers proved to be as popular with bears as they were with people and eventually they had to be replaced in favour of bear proof cans (which were not as artsy, but much more practical). Even though Garbage Gobblers disappeared from BC roadways, our love for them lives on in treasured family road trip photos and in retrospective discussions of days gone by. (Heck, the gobbler was so loved – he even has his own Facebook page!)
Well, he’s baaaaack. (And he’s hungry!)
We are thrilled to announce that the Garbage Gobbler has been re-imagined and re-introduced to a handful of rest areas across the province as part of our Rest Area Improvement Program.

I passed this every day. Germans sure make longer hikes pleasant, especially for older folks.

I don't know what went on here, but at least two animals had some sort of interaction. Did someone get eaten? Did someone get laid? Did someone have a wrestling match?

My mother in law packed a picnic lunch for my wife and I as we traveled back home to Lumberton. We each had a ham sub for our lunch.

In the vending machine area of the rest area, each one included a green note warning users that the machines do not accept debit/credit cards. It is obviously a cash/coin machine and even states it in two locations, but I guess people are stupid and have tried to ram their cards into the bill feeder.
