looking at memories...

Yesterday I was looking for a particular picture from 2013, didn't find what I was looking for, but came across a dozen or more that I liked. All of them had sensor dust spots. Back then I wasn't on Flickr, had no decent editing apps, no laptop, just my little Sony Nex camera and phone to upload onto Facebook.
Joining Flickr, seeing all the great photography inspired me to up my game, or at least learn how to remove those pesky spots, and then some. Thanks for all the encouragement you, my friends that don't know me except here on Flickr. I appreciate you because unlike Facebook people, you're photographer's and see the world as I do, through the magic of a lens.

I'm in Utah today, not for home, but a quick delivery and pickup, then off to Sacramento. That load won't deliver until Monday, which means I'm going to have most of Sunday to relax and do some serious catching up on Flickr.

About this picture:
It was January 7th 2013 when I took this photo. Got pretty luck, as I only took this single shot. This, as the name on the grain elevator says is in Milk River, which is in Alberta Canada. Until a few years ago I made deliveries up to Canada 2-3 times a year. I love driving in Canada, so beautiful, but the difference in Hours of Service regulations and the time crossing the borders got to be too much of a pain, and after a few serious hassles by Canadian Border Officers, I told my Company I wasn't going back. Someday I'll return, but not in a commercial vehicle.


There's a picture of the green grain elevator in this Wikipedia link. I like mine better.
