Industry Scape
Prayer of a Truck Driver’s Wife
Dear Lord,
Please bless my husband while he’s out on the road. Please protect him from the wind and rain and cold. Help him to keep that big rig between the white lines so he can make it to his destination on time. May he find his back-haul quickly and make it home soon. Please light his night on the road with your stars and moon. Let him rest peacefully in his sleeper’s bed, and please let there be a good meal and fresh coffee at the truck stop ahead. Help me to keep the home fires burning while he’s outh there movin’ on. And give me the strength and wisdom to take care of things while he’s gone. May the road he travels be clear and dry, and may not temptation catch his eye. Help him rmember when he’s all alone that his loving wife and best friend is waiting for him here at home.

Super sky!!! Good work!
I like the tiny hints of colour and the general gritty feel to this
amazing sky, and such a beautifully composed shot with subtle colors, love it so much to see
Great color tones, like you post processing on this one! Goes well with the motif.
The dramatic sky makes an ordinary scene extraordinary. I like the subtle colors in the distant trucks. Nice touch.
What an iconic image, Elaine, of our truck stops here in the States! And look at those brooding skies. It has a powerful feel.
Really like the composition here Elaine. Excellent tones and love the dramatic sky. Nice job on this one!
Awesom – I love photos of the normal – and this is something people see every day but then again they do not. Not the way you see it. Nice
Very moody, I like it. Nice processing!
That is a wicked looking sky!! I love how you captured this scene. You have a great eye and I look forward to seeing your photos.
Wow…I must have been sleeping when you posted this one. I won’t blink again. I love this. The composition and tones are incredible.
Wow! This is awesome. Great job!

The clouds in your photo has the appearance of a painting.:-)

I love the grain and grit that is felt here. The sky is just stellar, your processing amazing! Now…perhaps I shall pay you for some photoshop lessons 😉 Excellent, Elaine!

Another great one Elaine!Gritty and sharp. I love the detail like in the bridge cables and power lines.
