 Road construction after the rain, they were busy trying to get the water out before I could get a nice photograph..

Thank goodness for lunch breaks huh?

In the spirit of the challenge, I used the 20D instead of the 50D

Editing steps:
Open
Rotate
Resize
Sharpen
Save for Web

It's only 0.14 degrees off level, I would have preferred to shoot from a slightly less elevated stance, but I wasn't willing to go face down in the mud...

Another stop...or two...on the original exposure would have helped the color and contrast.
