Landscape Notes

Rest areas are places that people use very little these days; usually people are in too much of a hurry to stop and rest. I'm sure this has not always been the case. When cars were slower, and perhaps less comfortable, it was less imposing on our sense of urgency to pullover and take in the view while enjoying a thermos of tea. These days roads and highways are maintained and improved, but rest areas are often not, and thereby maintain a degree of cultural heritage and nostalgia.
