Our drive from Dayton to Chicago takes us from Eastern Time into Central Time. As we travel north, the giant I-65 wind turbines start at mile marker 184 in White County and end at mile marker 200 as we cross into Jasper County. This is also where the time changes from Eastern to Central and it's become a boredom buster for me to watch my phone go back an hour.
On this stretch of the drive, my attention is typically focused on the wind turbines. They are fascinating, huge structures reaching toward the sky from the open flatlands of northwestern Indiana and I have taken so many photos of them.
A couple years ago as Todd and I were talking on the drive through the wind farm, I noticed a blue sign in the median marking the time change. How cool! Note to self...have the camera ready. Well, it's really hard to take a decent photo of a blue sign when you're going 75 mph or not in the correct lane to get that decent shot going 75 mph or that you just forget that you're going to take a photo and have to wait until the next time. This past trip everything came together to get a photo of the Central and Eastern Time Zone signs. Perfect timing!
Ooh.. like parallel universes!

DeleteA mission to document the changes. I was riding an electric train through a wind farm recently, a wind powered train.
ReplyDeleteThe push away from fossil fuels.
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen a sign like that. It's a welcome reminder. The closest time zone change here is when traveling to California which at this time of year is the same time as here and in the winter and hour different. Arizona doesn't follow daylight savings time. We never have to adjust our clocks. It confuses everyone who doesn't live here.
ReplyDeleteI wish we didn't have to adjust our clocks.
DeleteTime is but a figment of our imagination. I think.
