Comin' At Ya!

This past fall many of the nearby islands suffered severe damage from quite a significant wind storm. Peaks Island was one of the hardest hit. The other morning at East End Beach, this logging truck was waiting to pick up a trailer of timber delivered from the island. The downed trees looked to be some mighty big spruce. I'd advise, if you see this number barreling down the highway at you, move aside and give her a wide berth.

  1. I hope that truck wasn't moving when you got that shot - haha!
    We have quite a few logging trucks in our area and it's suprising how fast they travel with a full load.

  2. Yes, I can imagine.

    You want to walk the streets of Versailles and I want to photograph American trucks and registration numbers. Shall we swap?!!

  8. Brute force! The feeling is more of a rhinoceros than an eagle. The model name of the truck is not well thought-out.

  9. Good thinking. Trucks bearing heavy loads can be very scary!

  12. Trucks this size always have the right of way.
