Commute 4

Where I End and You Begin- Radiohead

The traffic frees up, the great north road sweeps ahead and the clouds gather. This can be the worst part of the journey, a straight, flat road, no landmarks, nothing much to see or do. I don't quite know why but this is my favourite bridge of the journey. Most are square, functional things but this has a sweep to it, an unnecessary Nike swoosh at the end of a perfectly dull, featureless and straight 10 mile stretch. When you're in the middle of your 2001st commute you reach for the smallest inconsequential things to occupy your mind and this bridge does it for me.
