sprawl-the scattered, unplanned, and unchecked expansion of a town or city into the surrounding countryside..
i was in charlotte from monday to thursday this week...i don't mean to offend anyone who lives there, but it was painful...maybe i didn't get to see as much of the city as i could have, but all it was was sprawl as far as the eye could see...i spent more time in my hotel room than i would ever care to again, and the only redeeming quality was the quality of light coming through the window in the morning(as you can see by the self portrait).it also helped that i had someone special on the other end of the phone to keep me sane, and to remind me of better days to come..

i need to see the rest of this country before it is all gone...i'm sure i've missed enough of it already..
