Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Houston Rush Hour

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor deneyterrio.

Sometimes these long-exposure shots of traffic seem gimmicky. Not in this case. It is a great angle and captures I-45 looking northeast towards the Lyric Center. Also, the hazy orange coloration that is sometimes created in foggy/misty situations is a common part of the Houston rush hour experience for many people. The only thing about this shot that seperates it from being completely iconic is that, unlike most rush hours, the cars seem to be moving.
