Last night’s sunset wasn’t particularly spectacular; however, from this vantage point  over I-40 it looked  mesmerizing. The photo was taken at the edge of the parking  lot of the Antique Marketplace on  Burnt Poplar Road. As you can see,  Burnt Poplar isn’t a particularly busy road,  yet nothing  separates it from  I-40 but  a  single line of  concrete barriers. You  can sit there and  watch  the sun set to the west as commuters scurry  home.

When you are not actually in the  frenzy of rush hour traffic, watching it can be somewhat soothing.  While the billboards are hard  to read, the golden arches  loom large, as  if watching over  the  steady stream of commuters. We think we’ll sit here for while  looking at  this  photo, the twilight zone.
