The Journey to I-365

I started posting photos about 365 days ago on Tookapic after following a link from producthunt.com website.

A big thank you to this entire community without whom it would not be possible to keep posting every day using willpower alone. I hope to continue posting.

I'd give accolades to the various individuals who keep inspiring me, but the list would encompass nearly everyone! Special thanks to Pawel for creating Tookapic, his family for allowing him to do this crazy thing, and to his team for continuing to follow his leadership and keep improving the site.

As for this photo, I have been planning this one for a few months thanks to the inspiration of those who have achieved this 365 day milestone. There is no I-365 in the US highway system, so I was going to have to do some make-believe in GIMP. The actual sign has I-459, so I moved the 5, flipped the 9 and moved it, and crafted the 3. The actual sign has the city of Atlanta, Tuscsaloosa (home of the University of Alabama and the Crimson Tide college football team) and Gadsden, so I removed them, flipped a few of the letters around, rotated a 'd' from Gadsden into a 'p', and crafted a 'k'. I used the clone and healing tool a lot to clean up the mess (still not so clean).
