drive

Sometimes I like to get in my car and just drive. It doesn't really matter where. Just somewhere else... away from the everyday that encompasses me.

The picture above was taken somewhere in between Calgary and Kananaskis Country. I'm not sure where I was... but I really didn't need to know. See that majestic mountain peek it's head over the rolling hills on the horizon. A reminder that they are there... waiting for me. As John Muir wrote, "The mountains are calling and I must go." Alas, I did not make it all the way on this fine day. Time and life pulled me back home far to soon. But I do not forget the call.

Where is your favourite place to visit on day trips?

It's hard to resist when a mountain is calling... I know the feeling well.
Wonderful photograph.

Looks familiar, but not quite sure. Maybe around Priddis or Millarville? Beautiful photo.

Glad i'm not the only one that aimlessly drives for no reason! Sometimes a girl's just gotta get out!

Great pic! I like to "just drive" too but I find I don't do it very often these days. Since I've been sick with every germ under the sun this winter, I've turned into a bit of a hermit.
