Parsons Challenge #2




This second piece is much quieter than the first one, and is intended to illustrate the more peaceful, reflective side of driving. If I have had a stressful day and I don’t feel like blasting dance music, I often put on something more mellow. The looser style of this piece is meant to reflect the relaxing, soothing feeling created by the mellow tunes, the soft hum of the engine, and the picturesque image of the sun setting over the ocean is extremely soothing and is perfect for thinking and reflecting to. As illustrated in the art piece, I will sometimes take a short detour and pull over by the side of the road or park my car somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway and just watch the sunset for a while and mull over some thoughts. This piece is second in the sequence because it takes place during the process of driving, somewhere between getting from point A to point B.
