But it works. At one time I was in Viterbo, a few miles north of Rome. At rush hour I drove my car through a crossing of five streets. The semaphor had failed, and in any Austrian city this would have been enough to completely jam traffic for hours.

Not so in Italy. I swear, it was totally chaotic, but I had to stop not a single time. I slowly drove through all those other cars, all driving in different directions, all taking care, none having to stop. It was surreal. It might have taken me five minutes to get through. Impossible in any country where people insist on playing by the rules

Italians do as they want anyway, but I guess the bays are good for us from the northern parts of Europe.

I love Italian highways. a bay every 500 meters. Not on bridges though

Ah, crap! I’ve said that a few times and not just for sunsets. I also feel I’m not the best driver when I have a camera near me or an object of interest to photograph. Just a warning!

Photographer like a fisherman: “the one that got away”…

Happens all the time to me too.

Good point, Chris. This time of year, the sun is setting right when we leave work.

Those of us who commute find this time of the year difficult, as did you. We are on often busy roads at exactly the time when it would be good to be near a tripod and camera, waiting for the sun. I’ve been exactly in that situation a number of times in the last month, and it is painful, to say the least!

Have a great holiday, Paul!
