Yoga Truck

Yoga Truck

Driving off the freeway ramp, I was about to turn into my place of work, and there across the street was a scene playing tricks on my eyes. It was a semi-truck that had partially flipped – actually had twisted - while turning the corner. Only the back of the semi fell to the side, while the cab was still upright, leaving a dynamic twisting effect in the body of the metal trailer that was reminiscent of a spiral stair! The scene was very calm and there were no onlookers at that time besides the driver and police, so in a way it felt like – as one friend coined it – like a truck in a yoga posture! Still, peaceful, and waiting until the next pose. And for us at Seattle Stair, it was hard to miss the similarity of a spiral stair and the look of the twisting of the metal trailer. Being directly across the street from Seattle Stair, ironically it was fitting. Seeing the Yoga Truck was a little piece of the unexpected in a usually predictable commute to work.

* As a side note, I want to mention that we all felt for the driver of the truck and his company and are truly grateful that no one was hurt by this unfortunate incident.
