Taken a few weeks ago during a late evening walk with Beefy, here you can see a moody, atmospheric sunset (when our weather was constantly switching between warm sun and heavy rain like it was earlier in August, which always makes for dramatic skies here in Calgary) taken from the middle of a foot bridge over Deerfoot Trail, Calgary's largest north-south highway that stretches all the way throughout our city.
At some point, I want to bring my cheap tripod (I really need to buy a better one) and my 60D to this camera once the sun has set to do long exposure shots of the cars going by, I think that would be really cool!
For now, though, you guys are just going to have to be satisfied with this shot!
Hope you are all having a great week so far; I actually can't believe Thursday is already almost over, this week is going by very fast indeed!

The greatest irony of this photo is the slogan on the McDonald's Truck being "Whip through traffic".

this is the song you listen to while cruisin the freeway....
Construction Phase: 2002
Completion: 2005
Highway 75 was once a two-lane freeway with heavy congestion back in the past.
If you lived in Dallas going through 75, you would remember once you're there, you can't get out. In the early 90's, Construction was underway to add more lanes to ease the congestion.
The first phase between Downtown Dallas to the north on I-635 was completed in 1999, Then the High Five was built five years later in 2005 to eliminate the outdated interchange to create a more efficient capacity for traffic flow. Because of the design and large height of the interchange is considered to be the largest and unusual roadways in highway history, especially in the City of Dallas.
When the light/clouds/sunset is interesting I sometimes click a away with the camera while driving (I never look at the screen of course leading to random results).

We walked together across the freeway after I took this. He's had a broken arm for 2 years. He can't walk very easily, but he walked out of his nursing home. I asked him if he wanted to go back, he said 'no.' He's a tomato farmer, or was...he told me about his life before the nursing homes, all the money he has saved if he could only get to it. He wanted to get as far as he could today, possibly to the Farmer's Market in Dallas, a good 40 miles away. No money, obviously. No phone numbers. He told me that he wanted to follow me wherever I was going. I discouraged him from running away any further and that it was hilly around the downtown and more snow was coming tonight, that was a lie, but I was worried about him.
This freeway overpass is the only place a person can safely cross from one side of the city to the other without going into the dark, piss-smelling, unsafe tunnels under the rail-lines and freeway.
I hardly ever pass a person that isn't either homeless, panhandling, or hitchhiking, that is, no person like myself just walking from one place to the next. The people I pass on the street always smile and talk to me, like they're really happy to see me. This is a lonely, empty city for people like us.
