From an alley near the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California.

I am not really into photographing the big rig, but I found this is a quite interesting. It locates in a near-ghost town in the high risk flood zone. It's kinda looking spooky, but fascinating.

Arizona has not been behaving much like a desert lately. Shot at 1/25th of a second to add some motion to the big-rig.

Image captured on the move.

Caught from my vehicle traveling in the opposite direction.

Truck Thursday

We see a lot of big rigs driving through the city due to no by-pass any where near us.

Big rig trucker heading south on the Alaska Highway, most likely empty.

Learned a couple of days later in the trip that a lot of extra loads had come up with supplies after folks around Anchorage emptied the store shelves post earthquake.

Alaska Highway, upper Tanana country.

For those who might wonder, I was pulled off on the side of the road.

While heading north towards Penola in South Australia, I came across these huge things being transported up the highway. I have absolutely no idea what they are. Any suggestions welcome. Normally I would have asked one of the team, but they were just about to leave and I only had time for one quick shot before they started off again. They took up all of the sealed surface of the 2 lane highway (and more going by the accidental pruning of roadside trees it was doing) and traffic coming the opposite way had to pull off. I was keen to get out in front before they got rolling again!

They may be something to do with timber or forestry as this is the main industry in this little area.

With no overpass diverting big rigs we see a lot of them in town.

An amazing MC Van Kampen Trucking semi truck (1986 Peterbilt 359) with hood open...this was one of my favorite vehicles at the event and I'm not even a fan of semi trucks. It was a beautiful day, only a couple sprinkles of rain.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

.......after a lifetime of knowing Mayflower Movers for their bright Yellow and Dark Green Colors...I was startled to see this version at a local rest stop.....appears they may have attempted a yellow tint into the lighter shade of green and the ships sails...?

The other day I uploaded a long, wide load on the Leichhardt Highway between Moura and Wandoan in Queensland. Well, there were two loads and here is the second. This one was actually wider than the other, and if you look closely for the flags that distinguish the outside edges of the load, you will see that there is very little room left on the road. For this one, we were over as far as we could get and we still saw the load sweep past my nose!

photography can be all consuming, but if you walk around with photography in mind 24/7, it's interesting what you might find.
