the invasion...

Very windy yesterday along the Columbia river in Oregon. Besides pushing my truck around a bit, the clouds were crazy wild. For this shot I pulled into a rest area, but there was power lines, and their "Erector Set" looking towers, plus a Loves truck stop, all blocking the view I wanted. So, I walked behind and away from the rest area until I found this spot, nicely hiding all the crap I didn't want in my picture.

A little side note:

I saw a large crane land just out of sight and even though I didn't have my large telephoto lens, I tried to walking into the shrubs to get a picture. Of course it flew off when it heard me closing in. Branches got in the way and I never got a shot off. Still, it was pretty cool to see it. Also, saw two eagles this day. One in Idaho and one catching a fish in the Columbia. No chance of getting a picture, just trucked on through. The past few years I've been seeing a lot more eagles in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah. Good to see them making a resurgence.
