Satellite antenna

[Lonnie]

This is a shot I took at my part time job, which I had to perform due to loss of comm from Hurricane Gustav. I took this early one morning, just before sunrise. 5 sec. exposure at f/10, ISO 400. There was a floodlight at the site, so I put the satellite dish in between the camera and the light.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the positive comments.

Looks like something out of the cold war.

Some of the new trucks with the cab-over design do look like Russian trucks. This particular truck is a Steward and Stevenson 5-ton. They also make a similar looking replacement for the deuce and a half (2.5 ton) truck. Pretty cool trucks - they have a system where you can inflate/deflate the tires on the fly for different terrain conditions. Also, if you have a puncture in one of the tires, the air system will keep it inflated by continuously feeding it air. The cab is also sitting on shocks, offering a very comfortable ride. A far cry from the old deuce and a halfs.

Thanks for looking!
