I had so much fun building my last scene that I decided to do something along the same lines. I may try and connect this one to the last one for some hardcore redneck apocalypse action!
Of course, we have plenty rednecks in Norway, most of them benign and fun loving. As far as I know politics are not involved - Finnskog Norway

There is a great story that goes with this shot. First, I'm from Alabama, so I'm allowed to call people rednecks....I truly know what one is. Second, these boys called themselves rednecks....which leads me to the funny part of this story.
This is a place called Kinlock Falls in Bankhead National Forest. About a week or so before I took this shot, I had taken a group of 10 or so people over to the Sipsey and Bankhead for a photoshoot. We eventually made it back here to Kinlock, but it was too bright to do much shooting.
So when I got there this evening, kind of late, I found these three teenagers and two girls (not shown) sliding down this waterfall on little boogie board type things. It looked like a lot of fun.
They didn't mind me taking pictures of them having fun and eventually they all ended up standing on the ledge where I was shooting and then jumping off into the pool below.
I said to them, "If someone wants to give me an e-mail address, I'll send you copies of these photos." To which the one of the far left in this shot said, "E-mail? Man, we ain't go no computers....we're rednecks. This is what we do for fun out here. Shoot, we're lucky we got cell phones."
I laughed so hard at his comment. He was being funny and serious at the same time. They seemed like good kids.
The next part of the story is not so funny. After I left Kinlock, I decided to follow the road on back into the forest. I guess I had it in my mind that there would be a way out of the backside of the forest. There wasn't one that I could find.
So after driving around for 45 minutes in the dark, I retraced my route and when I left the dirt road and hit pavement, I was FLYING!
Well, I blew right past a state trooper was sitting on the side of the road. He pulled me over and asked what I was doing in that part of Bankhead at that time of night.
I showed him my camera and told him what I was doing. He proceded to tell me that the reason he was way back there in the middle of nowhere was because there was serious drug trafficking back there and it was very dangerous after dark.
I guess I have an honest face, because he just told me to stay out of the part of the forest at night and to slow down. No ticket, just a warning.
Good times. :-)
Take a gander at a custom conversion of a former school bus. Such luxury!
Parked in a handicapped stall as well. Hmm, I wonder who built this? Certainly not a handicapped individual.
A couple of Redneck Bikes I airbrushed and pinstriped a while back.. They where both built by a friend, Knut Olav Dybsjord and they where both bought by a couple of other friends of mine, but are now sold for new and own projects.. I think the rust bike is still for sale at a shop in Norway.
It looks rough but throws a signal out well enough. I'm hoping to get some time to work DX this summer.
Redheaded redneck showing Skoal can imprint taking a photo of Times Square. He's a little thin for my taste, but I know some of y'all will enjoy him.

Lazy Bear Pool Party on Saturday at the Russian River Resort in Guerneville, CA. Lots of tattoos, including this one.
This is labelled redneck but its from a very rich, very anal (couldn't resist!) very eccentric rich dude's driveway.
Found this accidental "creation" on the side of the road that I take to my daughters cheer practice. The county is reworking the drainage in the area and this is the staging area for all of the piping being used. It looked rather curious while traveling by it so the next day I took my camera and stopped for a few minutes to see if anything looked interesting enough to capture.
I still have a few more ideas and a few more views to work on, but for the moment I'm happy with these posted today.
