Just Because I like it


I got called out this morning to cover a Haz Mat situation on Lincoln Parkway.  No real biggie, a semi tank of flammable liquid went off the road, and was sinking in the mud that has resulted from heavy rains the last couple days.

No fuel was spilled, no one was hurt in the one vehcile mishap.  I went out, did my usual observations of the situation, got it in my mind what facts I could presnt, and snapped a few pictures that acutally applied to the situation at hand.

Then, I lingered.  Always and forever I look for that one perfect shot, the one that is exceptional, and today I got it!!!  These are two members of the Lincoln City Fire Department.

I am cheating just a bit, because I also sent this pic to my editor telling him I was sending it "just because I like it".  He emailed me back and said "I don't like it..........I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Look for it to be one of our top pics in tomorrows paper!  But now YOU get a sneak peak!

Have a great day!
