Over the past decade more and more folks have been upgrading from sedans and hatchbacks to crossovers, that are often wrongly called SUVs by most. So like most other manufacturers, Tata Motors, the highest selling Indian brand has also shifted most of their production to crossovers. These are some of the SUVs from Tata Motors, the popular car manufacturer that produces the best looking and safest cars to be found on Indian roads. The cars beat even German brands like VW when it comes to build quality, ride and safety. I clicked this shot at the local Tata Motors dealers. The cars seen here from left to right are the full sized 5 seater Harrier, Harrier (Dark Edition) and the sub-compact Nexon. All cars that are rated 5 Star in the Bharat NCAP, the official New Car Assessment Program for India. Incidentally, for those who might not know, Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC is a subsidiary of Tata Motors, after they aquired it from Ford in 2008, who had mismanaged it badly; with Tata virtually bringing JLR back from the dead. The automotive industry in India is booming today with new car sales in India in 2023 rising 7% over 2022 to 5,079,985 units. The country held on to third place in global market size, ahead of Japan but still behind China and the U.S., for the second consecutive year.

47225 on hire from Freightliner arrives at Sellafield on 14 July 1999 with 6C20, the Nitric acid/caustic tanks from Sandbach.
The train is crossing from the down to the up line from where it will back up to the site entrance. Note the diamond crossing in front of the locomotive connecting the up sidings to the down main, incorporating a slip from the up main. This crossover was taken out in early 2000s.
47225 would eventually become a DRS locomotive, though it would appear in a different guise, becoming 57307 in 2003.

I can't believe how close I am to finishing this project. This year has honestly gone by so fast! We say goodbye to Madeline next Wednesday which sucks so badly. We had a few adventures in the city with her this week including a trip to the Aquarium and bowling. Tomorrow we're all meeting up with a few other photographers from Queensland in the mountains which is really exciting! I'll be posting a lot more on my tumblr over the next few weeks so keep an eye out for some outtakes. I took this particular piece in my parents' bathroom after we had returned home from a shoot at the park. You can probably tell this is quite experimental. Not sure what I think about it yet. Anyway, hope you're all well. I'll see you guys next week :) <3

Pic from an alley we went down to be promptly told that we were on private property. Well we know the rules, so we dandered slowly away, muttering about where the heck the Private Property sign was.
Over the last week I have been doing the scenery on a friends FreeMo module. Not quite done yet but couldn't resist a test photo.
A leased SD90 for Norfolk Southern crosses over from track 1 to track 2 in order to head south down the CSX tracks at Chesterton,IN.
One of the most distinctive features on the street in this part of the world (large parts of Asia, actually) is the existence of large chains of convenience stores.
The two most common hereabouts are Family Mart, which started in Japan, and 7Eleven, where the brand started in the US, but the chain is owned in Asia, and is truly enormous.
The two chains compete strongly, and are often found on opposite corners. I've seen a couple of circumstances where there are two Family Mart stores on the same block, apparently due to buyouts from smaller chains.

That's why these guys are so good - the precision and timing in these displays is astounding. They feed the radio chat from Red One over the speakers at the show, so you can hear the very precise and chopped commands (which is damn useful for us photographers as you know the instant they're gonna break). Some of the words are said slowly, and certain aircraft do certain things on parts of the word it's like sheet music for aeroplanes.
