"Traffic, Glory"

In the aftermath of 09-11-01 attacks on America, one of my co-workers displayed the American flag from the camper on his pickup. Unless it was raining, I would see this flag every day as I entered the parking lot.

One lucky evening I happened to be behind the flag flyer as I left work and so I took this photo. Both of our vehicles were moving and it was just beginning to get dark so the camera used a slow shutter speed. These factors combined to make a dreamlike, almost surreal photograph with blurred shapes and light streaks from tail lights.
