(NEW) LRO’23: The Brotherhood of Land Rover
File: 2023009-0340
Land Rover Owner International Show 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.
About the photograph.
Those two vehicles are Land Rover Defender 4x4 SUVs heavily modified for extreme off-roading. Notice the modified suspensions, rugged looking tyres, roll bar cages, and the winch on the front.
At the showground, they have an artificial rough ground set up to give those vehicles a challenge to overcome, so the drivers would show off the Defender’s capabilities of extreme off-roading.
The one on the left was having an engine problem, and smoke could be seen at the back. The one on the right drove around, but the driver decided to stop to check on the other driver. Just a Land Rover owner feel the need to see if he can help out a fellow Land Rover owner.
Hence the title “The Brotherhood of Land Rover” meant to imply that they’re supportive of each other.
Thankfully the smoking car was not in serious trouble, if I remembered rightly, I think they managed to get the car going.
The weather was very hot, even thought it was September, it was as hot as a July weather, and there was a lot of heat haze, which would need a lot of dehazing setting, but I thought to convert it into black and white for a dramatic feel to the action.
About the day.
In the early morning, I woke up, got ready, and took a three hour drive to Belvoir Castle, but that morning was already very warm, with a cloudless sky and the sun beating down on the land.
By the time I got there, I was already feeling very hot. I wore light coloured t-shirt, lightweight trousers, and a lot of sun cream, plus plenty of water.
Sadly, after about a couple of hours, I became a bit overheated in the burning sky, there weren’t much shades around, and it was kind of a heatwave of some sort.
So I had to give up, and return home to avoid getting a heat stroke, I only took like about 400 shots, and that was all I could manage.
When I got home, I had to have a cool down and a rest, and thankfully managed to stay well.
Land Rover Owner International Show.
Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.
It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.
The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.
