A sunset on my time in Austin.

What am I thinking?!
My name is Nick Taylor-Vaisey. I have an undergrad degree in political science and a few clippings in newspapers and magazines around Canada. I live in Ottawa.
I saved some money this summer and, with minimal planning and as much spontaneity as I can muster, I am setting off on a 30-day bus voyage across (parts of) North America.
Ambitious, I know. How can anyone hope to appreciate Canada's east coast and America's eastern seaboard, gulf coast, and west coast while peering out the windows of a Greyhound bus?
Well, follow along and see how I do. I have a camera and expect to see a few friends along the way. There might even be some cameos.
Stay tuned.

Amazing shot! Sun and clouds together.
Nice lighting from the left. Maybe the only time anything from the left illuminates that place. One might say a capital shot, old chap.
Brilliant snap indeed !
