Long Day Ahead

Long Day Ahead
Long Day Ahead

Every day is a long day for those working in construction - My hat is off to them!

I found this early Sunday morning while on my way to the Ranch to check on the Longhorns - My goal was to photograph the Longhorns at sunrise when I came across this heavy equipment on the side of a new road that just opened. I patiently waited for the sun to rise to get this image!

Canon 28-135 IS at 115mm. ISO 250, 1/1250 @ f7.1, EC 0 (MT)

  Great catch! I don't know how they do it in this cold weather. Most of them stand around a lot, and it's gotta be miserable.

  Hey Jeff

I work in construction operating dozers and dumpers and usually have a small camera with me but we don't seem to sunrises that nice over here in the uk.
That is a cracker!
