just in time

i have been eyeing this tree all winter long. it overhangs the mississippi right where interstate I-94 crosses over the river. it’s probably the busiest stretch of freeway in all the twin cities. i’ve been wanting to photograph it against a white sky, but it’s a two-person job: one to drive the car, ever so slowly, on the shoulder of the freeway, with the hazard lights blinking, and the other to steal a photograph. today, with tax season done, and with what could be the last white sky day until november, i got my getaway driver back, and together we pulled off this heist.
