Heavy Duty
Uploaded: July 10, 2012 10:20:00 | Entered: May 25, 2016 03:28:28
A storm was coming and the sky began to darken - Lots of high wind as well. I thought that this would be the perfect time to get out and capture this machine with a dramatic sky for a background. I had to position our Expedition so I could shoot through the window (The Glass was Down) since the wind was causing a lot of blowing sand, dirt and other debris from the nearby construction site. It's a real rush to get out in the elements when the weather turns bad! (One more in the comment section)

Another "WOW" of an image, Jeff! Both of them - this is one of the most dramatic and best skies I've seen in a very long time and the oncoming storm really makes the yellow Cat jump out. Love your POV and your processing is excellent. There is so much construction work being done in our town this summer and every time I see one of these monsters I think of you! #10228594
