As anyone who knows me can attest to, I'm the sort of person who likes to be in control. And I love to drive. Unfortunately, my international driving permit was left over from our vacation in Japan last year and expired in May. I haven't gotten a Japanese driver's license yet, so for our trip to get the dogs, I was stuck in the dreaded Passenger Seat.
On the other hand, it did give me a chance to look around, and even take some photos. Taking photos as a passenger in a moving car can be a frustrating experience: no matter how good the view is right now, it's guaranteed to be obstructed by a hill, building, or passing truck the instant you click the shutter.
By chance, though, I managed to capture this dynamic sky near Sendai in Miyagi prefecture, about two hours' drive south of Kitakami.
