"The sun sets every day!" is the response I got, hehehe.

It is unfortunate on the particular road I talked about up there because it winds through the woods up and down with trees or banks on either side of the road. So, even though you might not see a car the entire trip, there's always a chance of someone coming up behind you around a bend at 60 mph. So, can't really stop, but I saw lots I wanted to grab the camera for. I had thought about just stopping and shooting out the window without getting out that way I could stomp on the throttle if needed, but that felt risky as well.

Oh how I miss having the bike to go out on rides now that I have a better camera than I did when I had the bike. With fuel prices, it's tough to make the decision to just go out for a drive in the car with the camera.
