Surprise Inside!

Normally, I would just delete this picture. It was underexposed, which is fixable, but it was shaky, too, which is not. I was just messing around on an abandoned overpass with a cheap tele-zoom I had gotten for pocket change. There were other, clearer, better-composed pictures from that same spot.

Let's see if you can spot what makes this one worth keeping. I didn't see it myself until I was reviewing the pictures later, at home on the big screen.

Click the picture for larger sizes; you'll probably need it.

In the middle of all that traffic, and Mr. Congeniality decides he's going to take BOTH HANDS OFF THE WHEEL why?! That's beyond rude. That's just stupid.

We have a winner! Here, have a cookie:



Dang, that was fast. I was hoping this would be a little more difficult than a round of "Spot the kerrowdown," but alas...

Yes, but he's a trucker. The road is his, and I was invading his territory.

So what are you saying, I'm not setting hard enough challenges.

Interesting. Since yesterday afternoon while at work there was a loud screech then a series of bangs/explosions. when we looked outside at the interstate there was a truck looking an awful lot like this one sitting at and leaning at an odd angle with two mangled cars behind it. Hum I wonder
