I live in a high rise building (let's just say my unit is above the 35th floor) and it faces west. In our city, that means you can see for miles since our view is not blocked by other buildings. We also overlook all of the major expressways (freeways for those outside of Chicago). We talk about traffice alot as a society...where the conjestion is, where are the gaper's blocks, etc. It is even a part of our news in the morning...just so we always know what lies ahead.
I was just sitting here this evening and was home by myself catching up on some work and online shopping (come on winter is coming soon...). I found myself looking at the window and noticing how "soothing" it was to watch the traffic go by. It was busy, but as dusk fell and the headlights and tailights were on, it changed. There was a certain rhythm to the traffic that gave me a very soothing feeling.
Yes, I know what you are thinking...doesn't that crazy woman have anything better to do than watch traffic. And the answer is...on a quiet, peaceful night like tonight......no I didn't.
