Trucking Shots......



Three views with one shots as I blindly push the button on the camera.  I drive and don't look through the viewfinder.  I did take some bad blind shots, but that is allowed when one is just clicking away with one hand. The interior of the truck counts as one. The mirror and window each have a view.

I am crossing the bridge over Saylorville and you can see the erosion on the Iowa landscape of a 45 year old man-made lake.  When they hold back too much water in the early spring, thinking they have to have boating water for the summer,  we can get heavy rainfalls that floods the lake up to the tree line. When that happens the state park, Ledges, north a few miles, is completely under water, shutting down most of the state park.  It is a lot of water that takes half the summer to release at the dam.  The worse flood ever happened one year where the overflow poured huge amounts of water, washing out a road that is built below the area. Scientist had fun as it eroded many layers of soil and clay revealing dinosaur bones and layers exposed to study the earth's crust.
