Working for a well service company in northeast BC hauling 20 tonnes of dry cement into some hole of an oil lease 150 kilometers off the highway on roads like this at three in the morning, no radio reception, no cell coverage, thirty below, all alone. I hated that job. I didn't go back this winter. I kept a cheap point and shoot in my gear bag, a Canon A550.

Heavy industry and blue, blue skies.

The light is really cool in the first one. Has a very horror picture feel to it. I think it would be a stronger image if you cropped out the truck's front end.

I just love the colour in the second one. Nicely done! :thumbup:
