Southern Storm Clearing

I snapped this one while I was working in the Australian outback about 7 hours north of Melbourne.
There was a mass storm that passed over us while working for a power company and out there the photo opp’s are almost endless.
The truck carries an old Southern cross drill rig used to bore the shaft for windmills. Due to the location it would never have been pracital to retrieve the rig or the truck, so here it lays.
I just wish it could tell it’s story
