Head Frame Upgrades

Some days the job just can't get any better.
We were on site today to shoot a customer story for Kramer News (KN).
This is one of the images our communications associate wanted me to capture.
You just can't say no to that sky...or the colours for that matter.
In this image construction crews install steel for the sixty foot taller head frame at PCS Allan mine.
This new equipment will allow the mine to increase production in the year 2012.
To get this perspective I had to park my truck up high on a near road and shoot from the tool box in the truck.
The cool thing is I get to tour these places and capture images at the same time...... :-)

Awesome sky. (usually doesn't happen when you have a subject to shoot!)

Beats my daily (work) view anytime. Nice big toys to play and shoot with that Prairie sky…BZ-V!

I'd trade your career for mine ANYDAY. You just let me know when you're ready and I'll be there. What a great opportunity you have.
Love your galleries.
