Schmotographs - continued

I will finish up a cycle in the morning and quite frankly I am glad this one is over. Mayhem on the streets, undesirable outcomes, Black and Blue Friday drills and a bitter ambulance crew have made this cycle much tougher than it needed to be.

As a result, no lengthy dissertations tonight, just some photos that I have shot in the last few weeks.

We stopped and got lunch at a burger stand and this impromptu
car show was going on. This is why I always have a camera with 
me.

 
 I love the interior of this car. Not a lot of padding on that steel dash 
though. It didn't have seat belts either.

 
 The S.O. landed their helicopter on an abandoned street and
picked up a deputy. For some secret surveillance perhaps? A
joyride is the more likely scenario. I am not being critical, as you
regular readers know, I am never one to turn down a joyride.

I have been working on my night photo skills and have a long ways
 to go. This was a rollover we had last week. Note the high voltage
  switch box that she landed on. I was glad she was out of the car
before we got there.

I snapped this as we were walking back to the rig. I liked the
purty colors.

 
This is my buddy Dave. I caught Dave at a confined
space drill a few weeks back. As soon as he saw
the camera, his hands cramped and his fingers
extended. I told him that I would post it on the web
and that it would be seen by millions of people.
OK, maybe hundreds.

My "weekend" starts tomorrow and I am ready. I hope to have a productive break, time will tell on that. Meanwhile, everybody stay safe and as always, thanks for reading.

  3. I used to be mesmerized by the flashing lights. Especially on a big scene with lots of units.

  6. Capt. Schmoe:

    Nice photos! And that first photo of the old car has those wonderful reflections of the other old cars--and not of you! This is not always easy, as I discovered during my recent venture to the Auto Show.
