My Truck

I took this shot of my truck at a rest area off I-380 in Iowa right before the bottom fell out of this menacing sky. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good! : )

In the Trucking across America photo essay.

    Fantasically clear shot. I love it. And that sky is perfect. Being from the midwest, I know that sight - the sun trying to shine as much as it can before the clouds takes over. I can almost smell the air and feel the chill.
