Nothing beats the sight of beastly, giant, intimidating transportation trucks on the U.S. freeways/Interstates that is if you care to look away from natural wonders; mountains, hillocks, pools, ponds, rivers, grasslands, pines, plains, amazing traffic islands that line these amazing roads, simply the best of the U.S. infrastructure.
One could be on either side; facing these trucks coming from the opposite direction, or better have them pass you on your left. Each possibility can leave you with your senses overwhelmed for sure. My heart goes for the drivers who handle these beasts with such fine precision, discipline and self control that you are in awe in minutes. It must be so difficult to change lanes, stick to lanes, maintain speeds, be aware of their limits and the physical, spatial limits these trucks throw, and yet race against time to finish job at hand. Doff my hats off!
I thought I was crazy developing a fascination for rail engines, heavy duty trucks with respect to their nose shapes, and the aerodynamics. I forgot there was YouTube.
Whenever close to these 18-20 wheelers in motion or at rest, I have wanted to capture them from unusual angles like say the dutch tilt, for these angles add to their machoness, their larger-than-life quality and their ugliness.
In this ugliness lies their actual beauty.
