Description
This one is about Ol' Blue, my truck. It's a good truck. We've been down many a road together--some that maybe we shouldn't have ought to have went down, but we always come home safe and sound.I know her and she knows me. I can tell when she's cranky and not up to snuff just by the sound of her engine and drivetrain as we're going down yet another road...the color of her exhaust...how she feels as I'm driving. I am her Knight, her Champion in the mechanics shop and always fight for what she needs to In return, Ol' Blue is a good listener and rarely critiques my singing. She provides endless hours of windshield time to think, to dream and to wonder. She takes me places I've been before and have never been before.
I both love her and I hate her and I'm sure she feels the same about me.
One day, we will be split apart and I will grieve for her, but it's not this day...
If I remember right this is 5 horizontal shots stacked vertically.

Nice shooting! Driving is always challenge and if the general public understood, they'd never take for granted the big trucks that don't stop, don't turn, and don't move as nimbly as a four wheelers, and would give way and respect for the people who drive for a living! Stay safe Friend!

I like the way you've taken advantage of the distortion arising from the wide angle shot and the dramatic foreshortening, John

Can definitely understand that there would be/is a mutually empathy and respect for each other given the 1,000`s of miles you two have graced each others company with brother
Love the shot,the shape of those clouds counter balances you trucks front end and indeed the whole frame superbly John!
