Walking alone down a quiet road is both peaceful and, at times, boring. A couple of weeks ago, as I sat down to rest on the side of Route 1 in Virginia, I decided to take my camera out of my backpack and record the sights and sounds of that lonely highway. In this video, you can hear the crickets and cicadas that have become my companions. I have been taking a lot of pictures during the walk, but this is my first video. I’ll start experimenting a bit more with this medium, so you may look forward to more.
