Weekly Photo Challenge: Down

Greetings!

Phew! I thought Regret was challenging and then.. Down! After going through a dozen down posts, I thought I’d skip this one, I couldn’t think of anything to match those levels of awesomeness! :) Here is loooooooooong shot at this. Trust me when I say loooooooooong! :P

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down ~ Oprah Winfrey

We came across this scary sight during a senior year class weekend getaway. I cannot imagine *one* scenario in which the truck would end up in that position – Upside down with it’s rear down the slope!

On a lighter note..

“A friend is someone who helps you up when you’re down, and if they can’t, they lay down beside you and listen” ~ Anonymous

This happened on the last day of the very same weekend getaway :D Evidently, some of us partied way too hard :P And no, we didn’t lie down and listen. Instead, we did this..

Very mature senior year engineers, us! :P

  1. That’s a pretty bad accident, all right. I liked your tongue-in-cheek look at “down” in your remaining photographs. It was worth a good smile before I go to bed. Thanks.

    • :) Every time I view this post, even though I’ve seen the photo a kazillion times, I have to stop and stare for some time. Very intrigued by what could possibly have happened for that truck to end up that way.

    • I don’t think so. The scene is free from signs of major trauma.

      Thank you! :)

      I like it, yes! But I don’t want to start now (it’s Thursday by a few hours anyway :P) because I won’t be able to post for the next few weeks. I will try it when I’m back :)

      EDIT: I’ll be around until the end of the month. My trip has been postponed due to fresh heavy snowfall.
