The road was not a pain in the asphalt on which to drive.
County Road 98 is a rural road in Alabama that is located in Jackson County. The area was quiet on this warm autumn day — save for an occasional motor vehicle and a bird chirping.
A raggedy crack meanders roughly down the center of the road. It may have been caused by the heat that shimmered from the asphalt over the years. The sun can be intense in Alabama. Perhaps the seam was not properly sealed. Regardless, the scene intrigued me for some unknown reason.
Something about taking a photograph of a road while standing in the middle of it always intrigued me — ever since I was a little boy. Perhaps the combination of emptiness and the possibility of danger may be the reason?
The purpose of the weekly series of Sunday Morning Photograph articles is to feature photographs from my travels around the world which you can view while enjoying your morning coffee.
