Russell Beattie Notebook

Escher Traffic

I took the above picture today while waiting in the far right lane to exit... it was actually insanely dangerous to essentially tailgate a double-long tanker trailer (full of gas no doubt) while taking this pic with my camera phone, but the image was too cool to pass up. At least we were in the slow lane.

Predictably, it didn't come out as good as it looked in person. You can't believe how incredibly shiny the rear-end of that tanker was and how the world looked receding off into the convexed distance... I was pretty mesmerized. I guess next time I'll have to get closer...
