Ice Cream Fire

Yesterday I was photographing ice cream for a light feature on summer weather. Today I was photographing the aftermath of a crashed semi full of ice cream. Yesterday was certainly more uplifting.

Summer Feature

I went out hunting yesterday to try and find a photo to go with a story one the heat wave predicted for Utah later in the week. After several failed attempts of shooting on the rivers, I came across some folks at Farr's Ice Cream and got this image.
