Intersection

This was the first picture taken with my Minolta SRT-101 35mm camera. It was a little rough before, but now it operates silky smooth. Thanks, mountain dawg! I couldn't wait until daylight to try it out, so this is a night shot taken at a local intersection just outside my town. It is the intersection of Route 1 and Route 45 and is touted as the only intersection in the world that doesn't actually intersect. What you see is Route 45 coming at the camera from straight ahead and it turns left (when viewed from this angle, it actually turns right in real life), and heads off in that direction. Route 1 is coming from the right side of the picture and turns left and heads off in the direction behind where I was standing with the camera. I don't know if there's any way of proving it's the only one in the world that doesn't intersect, but that's what they claim. If it doesn't intersect, it would seem to me that maybe calling it an "intersection" could be a slight misnomer. Oh, well.
