What's Missing?

***
***
I had forgotten to pick up the newspaper last evening from its plastic tube next to the mailbox, so early this morning I took care of that task, and nabbed a morning light road scene:
It dawned on me then.........something is missing.
Do you know what it is?

CARS! NO CARS! Ain't that wonderful in this world we live in? It is often that way where I live out here in the middle of the desert.

Those big electrical tower things? Did they disappear in the haze?

Jeannelle said...

down on the farm,

You are technically correct.....there are no cars in this scene, but that's not what I was thinking of.

Ruth,

Yes, you're right......no electric poles. Just a small section of our road is without poles, and that fact stood out to me this morning. Our farm is at end of an electric line which comes from a substation to the south of us. The neighbor's power comes from a substation to the east. Thus, a blank area in between!

Oooh oooh!!! Tire Tracks!

The road was recently graded.

Oh nevermind it was the power poles. I guess rural
Vermont living is getting to me and freshly graded roads stand out.

Hi, deserthen!

Yes, you're right about that, too! There's actually many things missing in this picture! I'm happy to live on a country road!

Hi, Mike from Vermont!

Cool.....I've never been to New England. The road maintenance in your area must be subpar?! They do a good job around here......for the farmers, I guess.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!

I wouldn't say maintenance is bad, I just drive 30 miles of dirt roads each way to work. Many of those are seasonal (summer only) roads. I tend to notice when each section has been shown a little TLC.

I could just take the actual paved roads, but what fun would that be?

Hi, Mike,

Wow, that's alot of dirt road driving for you!! But, I'm sure its very beautiful. Good for you for choosing the dirt road route when possible! Your trees there are probably starting to turn to autumn colors.
