Get'er Dun

PGB Turnpike, Plano, Texas

I present "Elements of Humor". Fans of Larry the Cable Guy will appreciate it. Although the English Major and Technical Writer in me still cringe.

This was a drive-by shooting. I was on the Turnpike and saw these words printed on a tow truck up ahead in the lane next to me. I grabbed my camera from the seat, did a quick check of the settings, pointed it through the passenger window, and snapped this shot as I passed the truck.
I've got to admit, I'm pleased with how this turned out. Not bad for "shooting from the hip" while driving 60 MPH. I didn't even crop it.

This week's challenge was, "Elements"

I don't know Larry, but that is a heck of a drive by shot :-)

Love you dearly, my friend. It makes me happy that we don't travel the same roads on a regular basis. You scare the poop out of me sometimes. Again...what the hell!? Funny capture.
