Wouldn't it be great is we got a Pickup Photo in ...

First of all, I am very pleased to see the 2014 calendar is on, again. Though

Let's say we all make a vote:

Go through this whole thread and choose the pick-up you like the most. And post this vote right here on the pick-up thread which Ron19 has set-up in the beginning.

You can't vote on yourself, of course.

The one with the most votes will be presented to Tywais.

Good to see you roaming around these threads, FracturedRabbit.

And thank you for the great photo. Your above then average photography-skills are quite refreshing.

Mae Sot 2012, getting the pick-up to the busstation.

I remember, I was ordered to sit upfront with the driver because I was the "largest" person on this ride...

Been there and have had to do the same although on one particular trip,the driver got sick of me complaining all the time about him crossing to the wrong side of the road on blind (for him) right hand bends.Pretty smart fellow this so what he did was stop for fuel and before he did anything,he went into the shop and came out with a large bottle of Singha,gave it to me and told me to sit in the back seat (behind him) because I hadn't been sitting next to my wife all day.

I was wondering why the guys in the pick-up weren't waving at me. They were looking at the other way...

Not one even playfully threatened to wash out my camera... Now I see why.....

Thus the last ... some maybe even happy with that ...

OH ... the Dogs name is Muo ... he's my adopted dog on the Farm,

hence why he's out there in the rain with me.

Gotta admire dedication like that.

This was the one which broke the thick concrete Boundary Marker

Check out the amount of mud on the rear tyres!

... and that was it.

They all piled into the back of a truck, smiled and waved to me

... and chuffed off into the Sun Set Rainstorm ...

Thanks Ron19 for indulging me ...

Mate, you are way to kind.

It was just that the opportunity presented itself.

The real skill was standing in the pouring rain, capture the images

not destroy the camera and maintain the friendliness with the subject

despite the obvious issues.

I just wish I had one of them all waving goodbye.

Thanks for the kind words though ...

[Goompa]

Very welcome

I am sure that they were just a little too keen to get away

Anyhow , I enjoyed immensely , Excellent work

The ducks are still quacking and the chickens are still clucking ..... cluck cluck cluck!...ducky~ !... both have separate pens!

Agreed, Goompa.

David48 can tell a good story with his posts. Love it! Imagine most pick-ups where loaded with water tanks!!!

Great Muo is hanging with you, David!

[Dancealot]

WHY the windscreen-blind???

Hoping for a more sensible answer now, Jimmy.

I nominate this one for the calender.

I bet the guy in the pickup is wishing he could pass the bus! (Pai to CM highway)

I'm sure it's a Kitchen Sink on top (don't let facts interrupt a good story).

Actually, with a bit of cropping, you could also post that on the Flag Tread just started in the Photography Forum.
