237 mornings

[jfb]

As you guys know, I got into the habit of taking photographs from the freeway during my travels this past year. When I started a new job in February, I knew I was going to get restless being stuck in one place for the duration of the nine-week contract. But I did have a freeway to drive on.

So now:



I have photographs, one for every morning I commuted on California State Route 237. They're not as beautiful as New Mexico at twilight or as ominous as the Bakersfield oil fields or as weird as the Texas panhandle, but, well, they're where I live, and I'm okay with that.

Where in Sunnyvale? I like the hills and the accelerator, it's the drive from near 101 over to 280 that would drive me nuts.

I love the Bottom of the Hill, not least because the drive is so easy.

Pure Software was (roughly) at the corner of Fremont Ave. & S.Mary Ave. so it was (a) south of El Camino, i.e. closer to 280 than 101, and (b) very close to 85. It was a pretty nice location, all things considered. (It was still office park & strip mall hell, but at least it was easy to get away from quickly.)

Where do you live?

Sorry, I meant "logical west of El Camino". Ahh, good old El Camino Real: as confusing as the Charles River, except FIVE HUNDRED MILES LONG.

Over around 101 and Moffett. Close to downtown Mountain View, which is nice, but far from 280, which is a shame.
