A fleet of long distance lorry drivers who miss their families are now taking them along for the ride - on the side of their trucks.
Four truckers have had enormous 13 metre long by two metre high photos of their families stuck on the entire side of the trailers so they can be with them wherever they travel.
The drivers, who work for Savage Haulage yard in March, Cambridgeshire, can often be on the road for five days a week, but now being apart from their loved ones is a little easier.
Each lorry features an interior family shot on one side and an exterior photo on the other for the art project Take Me With You, which is exploring the theme of absence. .
Mother-of-five Lindsey Scott, 45, from Huntingdon, is one of four drivers who have the portraits on their lorries.
She said: "I find it hard being away from my family five days a week so I guess this is the next best thing."
Another driver, Paul Stearman, 41, added: "I'm usually away from Sunday to Thursday and I really miss my family.
"I speak to them on the phone but it's nice to be able to take them along with me. Sometimes I forget the picture is there and do a double-take."
