I agree with your comments on lorries having also passed/followed the Road Trains (2 trailers plus main lorry)on the way to Alice Springs and never had a problem. It's all about sharing the road and respect. A Great photo too, I also have an DMC-FZ20. Voted

Well done shot. I like the way the truck's siding is "reflecting" the trees alongside the road. If only he weren't driving on the wrong side of the road!
Great new series..very unique. I am voting because A) I have never seen a truck like this B) You caught it against a perfect backdrop c) You feel the same way about those youngsters on the road d) All of the above ;-)
Love the decorations. Great job. Good shot Laine!
(I've just been sent an email with photos of truck art in Germany,
if anyone is interested, email me.)
I like the way the trailers match the scenery. And I agree. It is the idiot drivers of cars that act like these huge things can stop on a dime. Here in the mountains, there are truck lanes for them so that when they can't pull the grades, people can pass.
Funny thing Laine. I haven't seen any of these around home for the longest time (maybe banned along the high traffic routes??) but I must have seen 6 when in South Carolina. It scared me as much as it used to to see them passing me going 65mph. Used to be all over the roads in the midwest.
I think the "long vehicle" in the back is a bit of an understatement :)
Another very nice one though - love the trees on it and the trees in the background...

very long truck..but i like the detail on them..nice photo
We've just returned from a trip where we shared the road with lots of these
heading into the outback areas of S.A. None as colourful as this one, what a catch!

Blending in so well..
I can imagine an australasian mammal rushing across the road to hide in the bush and trying to hop into the side of the second trailer...
Wonderful description..smashing!
