The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion. The tunnel is......

Too many selections:
1.In Large View
2.With Black Background
3.Related "Tunnel Vision" Photo

Background:
As in the related shot, my cousin was driving and thus people's lives were put at risk while capturing this shot. We were not speeding either; getting a ticket on a trip is a total buzz kill. Bloody intrigued by tunnels since I was a youngun. I doubt it purely because that old proverb is ingrained my mind: "There is light in the end of the tunnel". I just find tunnels unreal, unusual, and, more importantly, probably more appriciative of them because they are just damn rare. Driving threw them is a 'proper trip', even more spectacular when driving into one during the night.
(All this fuss and ruckus over a tunnel?)

Quotes: (Why is it that I want to put only one here, but end up with bloody three or four?:)
“Carve a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment.” -Martin Luther King, Jr

“Will our life not be a tunnel between two vague clarities? Or will it not be a clarity between two dark triangles?” -Pablo Neruda

“Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel." -John Quinton:)

Author unknown for title quote.

May I Suggest Some Music With That:
United Kingdom's Outlandish's Ya Rayah with Rachid Taha from the Album Beats Rhymes & Life
