Moments after making the night photos something very surreal happened. I looked both ways and stepped out onto the roadway to walk to the other side of the bridge. It was windy and cold so it was time to head back to the car.
Just as I made it to the dashed line between the two lanes on the west side an SUV comes barreling around the corner about 30 yards down the road heading my way. It entered by way of the right lane so my thought was to keep progressing across the road. Just as I did, I heard the roar of the engine as the driver stepped on the accelerator and veered into the left lane, apparently attempting to race with the turn light at the end of the bridge.
So there I was in the middle of the road, having only split seconds to judge which way to go. I thought to head back from where I came, but the SUV then veered my way. I felt as if a massive projectile was aiming right at me. Wearing a bright jacket easy to see at night I was almost convinced I was a target. Having been in a car accident before the though of crushing forces raced through my mind. Nonetheless it was up to me to save myself.
To do that I ran at the other side of the road and just as the I made it to the double yellow line the SUV shot by me. I could feel its air gusts as it did. Just as that happened I saw the brake lights come on as the SUV slowed to a near stop in the middle of the bridge. The driver must have realized something was in the road and that they'd nearly hit it. As I watched it make way toward and through the intersection making its turn I could see it wavering. I too, was unsure on my feet.
As I stepped up onto the sidewalk the words, Thank you God, came out of my mouth and as my gaze moved toward the sky I saw that angel on the lamp post. I then said out loud, Thank you God for looking out for me.
Now you know the reason you had to see the photo of the lamp post angel.
Please look out for yourselves out there my friends.
