Traffic and traffic jams are ubiquitous in India so when given lemons I try and make lemonade - stuck in traffic look for cool portraits - hopefully I succeeded?

Notorious Bangkok traffic at the intersection of Sukhumvit and Asok Montri Roads.
Le sette targhe di automobili più costose del pianeta sono ad Abu Dhabi, compresa la più preziosa di tutte, su cui compare solo il numero “1” e che vale oltre 14milioni di dollari.
Ad Abu Dhabi, più il numero di targa di un’automobile è basso, più aumenta la vicinanza del proprietario con la famiglia reale.

Going in different ways, the man on the bicycle, with his one horse power, stands out on the road near the shores of the river Oude Maas , against a huge container ship, called the Nica, sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda.
Trade & Change. In the globalised economy, everything interlocks. If the cycle is disrupted, whether by wars, pandemics or major shipping accidents, everything comes to a standstill and delivery bottlenecks occur. This photo is intended to illustrate a little what kind of logistical effort is necessary in the area of ports, as here at Bremerhaven's container terminal.
Handel & Wandel. In der globalisierten Wirtschaft greift alles ineinander. Wird der Kreislauf gestört, ob durch Kriege, Pandemien oder grossen Schiffsunglücken, gerät alles ins Stocken und es kommt zu Lieferengpässen. Dieses Foto soll ein wenig verdeutlichen, was für ein logistischer Aufwand nötig ist, im Bereich der Häfen, wie hier an Bremerhavens Container Terminal.
As with most things in China, their highways are impressive. Beautifully built and with manicured gardens down the middle. Not so impressive is the traffic sense; what was this three wheeled vehicle doing in the centre lane on a three lane highway?
What was our bus driver thinking? Why fall in behind a slow moving three wheeled vehicle when he could have pulled out and passed it long before we caught up with and followed this red terror. China is a country of inexplicable contradictions encountered every day we were there.
Traffic lights and the vertical white wall of the Tiffany building along North Terrace, in the late evening sun. The traffic lights are a littls strange - red, amber, blue - are for regulating vehicular traffic down the side lane.

Seminole Gulf Railway GP9 #580 leads a healthy cut of cars from the CSX interchange near Oneco South through Tallevast toward downtown Sarasota. The Seminole Gulf's Sarasota operation normally only runs about once a week to service a handful of local customers, but is currently required to make as many as five runs a week to accommodate diverted Fort Myers bound freight traffic. The SGLR's much bigger Fort Myers operation was severely impacted by Hurricane Ian, with the Caloosahatchee River bridge having been completely wiped out and rebuilding/repairs not having been completed yet. As a result, a lot of traffic destined for customers located in Fort Myers, mainly building products and propane, has been getting transloaded onto trucks on sidings and team tracks on the Sarasota line.
SGLR 580 normally serves as the back up engine to the B39-8E that generally provides the power for the otherwise weekly Sarasota run, but is currently being called into action to handle the severe temporary increase in traffic. Both engines are needed for switching maneuvers along the line with this amount of cars and sometimes even two crews will be called. The venerable former FEC GP9 is already 69 years old, having been built all the way back in 1954, and is the only high hood Geep on the Seminole Gulf system (and I think the only GP9 period left doing freight work on the SGLR).
So it was well worth getting up at 3am to make the 4.5 hour drive and back for a day's worth of shots of this classic old unit handling the freight traffic. Thankfully the 580 made the run this day and the B39-8E was just used to aid in the switching maneuvers. Tallevast, FL (Sarasota)

In normal roads the traffic is made of smoking cars, in Venice a series of gondolas crossing the canals.

Back in Zurich after lovely Venice. This is a tram and bus station in Zurich called Central. You can see the river Limmat and the building of the main station in the background.
