The story behind this image

Not one of my most uplifting photos this! I was stuck in rush hour traffic on the Runcorn bridge over the river Mersey when I took this photo with my camera balanced on the steering wheel, trying to get home on a dark winter's evening.

For me, this photo sums up the dreariness and frustration of the daily commute and I'm glad I don't get to do it too often!

At least I had a warm home, and tea on the table with my family to look forward to. I should count my blessings!
