Cicadas belong amongst trees, not offices. It seemed quite odd to see this one hanging over a parking lot without a tree in sight. Poor thing; I hope it found a more congenial environment.
Our Daily Challenge: Strange Bedfellows
Looks like a modern SUV or Crossover vehicle, this 1939 Chevrolet was on display at a Car Show in Littleton, Colorado.
The only Avon and Somerset Police specialist armed response Land Rover Defender.
Seen here whilst this was based at Almonsbury OSU on a visit.
The three blues are 3/4 of the front blue lights fitted to this vehicle.
This vehicle is no longer kept at Almonsbury, the Collision Investigation unit now keep one of their vehicles in the garage where this used to be kept.

The Volkswagen Transporter series, also referred to as the Volkswagen Group T platform series, refers to several generations of motor vehicles from Volkswagen Group, starting with the original Volkswagen Type 2.
These vehicles are traditionally in the light commercial vehicle sector; and comprise vans, minivans, minibuses, pick-ups, campervans, and other derived vehicles, spanning over 60 years of production from 1950. Throughout their generations, they have generally been available worldwide. Its traditional competitors are the Toyota Hiace and Mercedes-Benz Vito.
Though the T1 to T3 generations were named unofficially and retrospectively, the T series is now considered an official Volkswagen Group automotive platform.

IOWAS's old but lovely Incident support vehicle seen here parked up at the ambulance station at St Mary's hospital.
This is soon to be fully re done to be brought up to Modern Standards.
This gorgeous old XC70 within the Hampshire fleet belonging to FSU seen here parked up at Hampshire police's family fun day.
When you encounter the railroad owner doing a bit of maintenance before the Autumn Rambler passes. A 1953 Chevrolet 3100 is way too cool as an MOW vehicle. Note the limb trimming saw sticking out of the bed of the truck.

A rare vehicle is this mitshibitshi shogun used by safer transport command/RPU, seen at a checkpoint on Embankment involving the Met and VOSA checking HGV's. This vehicle used to be a marine unit and has now been put into battenberg after having the original 'jam sandwhich' livery.
Here you can see a picture of it in it's past life: www.flickr.com/photos/22041090@N02/8723565974/in/photolis...

A type of vehicle in London that has taken a bit of a hit lately is the DAF/VDL SB120 - a competitor to the Dennis Dart that only Arriva really took an interest in. This bus last operated on route 450 on 07/10/16 and the route has now been upgraded to new Wright Streetlite DF's. Other examples have been withdrawn from Harrow area services but a handful of 06 reg DWL's still exist running from Garston Garage (route 288 at least is still running them). There may be a few other elsewhere but the type is not far off extinction now.
The other company that runs the type, Go-Ahead London, does not by choice - it inherited some from East Thames Buses. They are also in their last days now, operating on route 108 waiting to be replaced by refurbished Citaros.
Two uploads in the space of 24 hours, I know it's intense.
I've seen hundreds of C63's (literally) with all of them being in either silver, black, white or a various shade of grey, but never in red!
I like the C63 a lot but it doesn't really fit in with what I like to post but having never seen a red one I thought I'd throw it up here. That and the fact it looks boss in red.
Still doesn't warrant it's own day though. :P

With the help of some good friends I have built up a vehicle I can use on my landscape photography expeditions. Based on a 2000 Isuzu Trooper 3.0 diesel LWB I have fitted long range driving lights (ideal for Scotland) mounted on an A bar, 360 degree worklights mounted on the roofrack, a CB, satellite locator, single bed, weather station, insulation to keep me warm at night, winter tyres, uprated batteries to run the lights etc. The truck also carries cooking equipment and a 12 volt shower, for extended periods in the field and an awning to shelter under whilst cooking, kitting up etc.
Today I spent the day on the North York Moors where the shot I wanted didn't happen due to the weather. I did however have some Elinchrom Ranger Quadra battery powered studio flash with me so rather than come home empty handed I decided to take photograph the Trooper in its usual surroundings, in bad weather on the North York Moors.
The StreetDeck made its first public appearance at the 2014 NEC Euro Bus Expo in November. With a complete finished vehicle on display, which led to an order of 25 for Brighton & Hove with new Gemini 3 front ends. The Arriva vehicle was placed into service in Derby during early 2015. The Belfast vehicle( A Volvo B5 chassis) saw its first duty in 2014, with Metro in a pink overall livery.
EYMS was given SL15ZGP by June 8th 2015, after a whistle stop at Transdev In Harrogate. The bus was then announced at number 135 on various social platforms of EYMS.
The bus was then used for driver training and familiarizing, before entering service. However on June 11th I was in York, studying the X46 time table and guessed an early afternoon visit to York. Luckily for me the waiting around paid off, as 135 arrived in the Merchantgate area of York.
The time of the shot was just after 14:00, with the sun in the right place.
The bus looks smart, with friendly driver too!. EYMS must have realized that this vehicle will get some attention.
A very nice St John Ambulance Land Rover Defender 110. Seen here on duty at the Weston-super-Mare beach race. This vehicle was previously based in Devon. The old call sign was GC127, the new call sign will be WR***. This vehicle is rather small but very well set up! The 'bump' in the bonnet is because the engine has been raised to allow for a greater ground clearance.

Conrail CAOI (Camden, NJ to Oak Island, NJ) rolls through Piscataway on Conrail's 18th birthday with a C39-8/SD40-2 combo leading. Conrail 6007 is one of only 22 C39-8s on the roster. This unit sports a red "L" next to the road number. The "L" was applied to this and other units that were leased to Southern Pacific in the early 90s.

A police sergeant stands beside a classic police vehicle of the era in February 1975.
The Ford Capri – in its various guises – was one of the stalwarts of traffic policing for many years.
We hope this image will bring back a few memories of bygone police transport.

6-TC unit No.601 is seen at Micheldever storage sidings on 10th January 1971 in the company of 4-SUB unit No.4292, both withdrawn from service. The 6-TC unit was formed in 1965 to trial push-pull equipment that would allow a diesel locomotive to be operated remotely from the driving cab in the multiple unit. It was composed of former 4-COR driving motor cars, which had their motors removed and the end gangways removed, and 6-PAN/6-PUL trailer cars. At the same time a Class 33 locomotive was modified to work with the unit. From early 1966 the experimental train was used on the Oxted line and was later transferred to the Clapham Junction to Kensington Olympia service. The trials were successful and led to the production of the 3-TC and 4-TC units for working the Bournemouth line with Class 33/1 locomotives. However, the 6-TC unit had a short life, and was withdrawn after incurring accident damage.

This is Tilak Road, which on any given day is a screaming howl of vehicles of all shapes from buses to two wheelers jostling and fighting for road space. On this day ,however, no traffic was allowed bar the two wheelers. The occasion -- The Ganesha Idol Immersion Ceremony in Pune 2010
The artistic road drawings are done on the spot (rangoli), on the fly just before the procession starts. An art form in itself and it takes less then a few minutes to do do say 10-30 metres of the road.
The Elephant headed God Ganesha of the Hindu pantheon of Gods is an immensely popular deity woshipped assidously in Maharashtra, Goa and some other states. Elaborate ceremonies are enacted for the installation of the deity and then its sanctification and prayers and finally the immersion of the idol in a local river or ghat.
The popularity of the celebration in Maharashtra and elsewhere is a comparatively recent phenomenon and came about as a result of vigorous assertion from Lokmanya Tilak around 1895 AD to make it a memorable event full of pomp and paegentry to unite the vast multitudes of Hindus who could install and worship a deity in their own houses as the hitherto superior Gods like Shiva, Krishna and Vishnu were controlled by the Brahmins in their temples where the local people had no popular participation or involvement as a fanfare.
It turned out to be a great success in cohering the Hindus of the two echelons and also as a base for showing protest against the British rule.
Now it is a noisy / boisterous / loud celebration with the idol carried on the final day for immersion preceded by a fanfare that is chaotic and full of energy. A large contingent of drum beaters make a thunderous display of primal beats as they march down. Now there is a swagger and cultivated poise and stop that has been inculcated as well to make the presentation more dramatic and eye catching.
Young kids and girls also do the drum beating which was not what used to happen earlier.

A Peugeot 505 photographed at an used car market in Tianjin, Tianjin municipality, China.
This 505 was built by the Guangzhou-Peugeot JV from 1990 to 1997.
The JV was founded in 1985 with the production of Peugeot 504 sedan, Wagon and pick-up (2 and 4dr).
It was killed in March 1997 after less than 100.000 vehicles produced.
I saw this 505 sedan last year in an used car market in south Tianjin. And at the same place one year later.
Half way heading Busselton, Perth, Western Australia
I considered myself lucky as initially before decided to go with Mitsubishi ASX, I actually think of renting a smaller vehicle for the road trip in Perth. Because the itinerary we have was once touched down the Perth airport, I will be getting the car and drive all the way to Busselton (South of Perth).
What we wouldn't expect is, the Mitsubishi ASX can't even fit the 2 big size luggages at the rear cargo space. That was why we really thankfully we didn't go for the smaller vehicle. Ended up we have 1 at the cargo space, and the other one at the rear passenger seats. Of course along with some hand luggages sitting at the rear passenger seats too. So you would imagine the rear passenger seats are filled with all the luggages.
I've to say it was a smart choice because we were hopping every night with different accommodation during the road trip. So the SUV type vehicle is definitely come to handy when come to spacious interior.

This is the shot after 2 hours of driving then stopped by to attend the nature calls, we then went further in the small pathway and came to know the farm with the grass rolling. We took a quick break while I was shooting the scenic.
You must see this on large View On White and View On Black

P/s : This is Photoshop CS 5 and Lightroom 4 editing parts can be seen in the commentary too.
Manhattan/USA (Times Square has seen a sharp decline in traffic injuries in the years since New York City closed off portions of Broadway to build a pedestrian plaza. The famous Manhattan crossroads appears to have seen fewer injuries for people inside motor vehicles, on bicycles and on foot, according to data...
