And.... how we empty our trucks down under..... leaves more beer drinking time.

Nice! I wonder how much it would cost to get my house set up like that?

That explains the 'Fast Lane' I saw at the 'Drive Thru Bottle Shop' in Geraldton WA back in 2005 - more beer drinking time

Hope the driver of the truck on the lift remembered to set his brake.

I would add a tad bit exposure, around 0.2-0.3, raising the shutter speed would also help eliminate camera shake blurring.
Otherwise nice capture.

Weird fact: I didn't know some birds had whiskers... this is a crop of a shot I took of a Grey Fantail and posted above the other day....their "whiskers" are called "Rictal Bristles"... mostly found on insect eating birds.... they are thought to protect their eyes form insects that they are catching/eating.

This is a 1/36th crop of a K-1 and DFA 150-450 shot... I love digital!

They are the masters of disguise, and often overlooked.
Impressive, they could have a camouflage competition with the Nighthawks.

I've never seen one of these guys Albert but it is quite the camouflage they have.
