This is the highway crash cushion that I designed. It's called TRACC and it is marketed by Trinity Industries in Dallas, Texas. This one was stroked about four feet in a mild impact. It's designed to stop a vehicle traveling 100 km/hr (62 mph).

I shot this bird as it flew across Benbrook Lake. I only got one shot and it is one of my favorites.
