Photo Story: Rigs Full O’ Pigs

Photo of two trucks on a bridge.The squealing of hogs was enough to make his ears bleed. He’d driven all night … Rigs Full O’ Pigs. He liked the sound of that. What he didn’t like was the sound of 130 decibels, second only to the sound of a jet engine, bouncing around inside his brain. He needed a cup of coffee. He’d take a break at the next rest stop. Get out and stretch his legs and give his ears a rest. Else he might drive this bitch right off the bridge, pigs and all. Leave em Achin’ for Some Bacon. He liked the sound of that.

    The true sense of how selfish noise can cloud our vision and make us long for peace.

    Can’t decide whether I’m rooting for the pig, or his cargo. Love it!

    I love this. It’s so vivid, funny, and poignant. I can just imagine the driver and the truckload of poor animals on their way to slaughter anyway.

    I liked your focus on the sounds of the animals. Too often people associate pigs with a bad smell, and you took a different sensorial approach. I like the sound of that. 😉 Bravo!

  5. Just great! I can see and hear it all! Made me smile…
