[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 825970, member: 16749"] OK, so here's a first entry, not really expected. My Jeep seems to be possessed by a powerful supernatural spirit of wanderlust. It frequently demands—and I dare not refuse it—that I take it out for long drives, preferably to places that normal cars cannot go, or at least places I've never been before, and would otherwise have no reason to go. I wonder if Jeeps in general, are all like this. A couple years ago, [USER=32150]@Seanette[/USER] and I rented a lesser Jeep than this, for about a month, and I noticed a similar trait to it, albeit not nearly as strong as with this one. For the past few days, I've been operating way off of a normal sleep cycle, and my Jeep was demanding I go somewhere. Where is there to go, in the middle of the night? Finally, I gave in, at about 02:30 this morning, and went for a long, random drive. It being dark, I didn't expect any good opportunities to take pictures, but I brought my camera along, anyway, just in case. So, at around a quarter past three, I'm on some remote road in some farmish area, and I decide that the view out my windshield was worth photographing. (And no, my vehicle was not in motion while I took the picture, it was in park, with the parking brake engaged.) It's a stitched panorama, beset by the usual distortion, parallax, and discontinuity issues that some times are unavoidable with such pictures.
