Taken at the Pavilions Car Show in Scottsdale, Arizona, in July 2021. This visit was the first time back for me since they FINALLY(!!!!) started up the car show again in late May 2021 following the pandemic-caused shutdown of the show.
Shot with a Canon 70D and Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM lens with circular polarizer.
a typical situation in the Kruger National Park - all in a sudden some wild animals crossing the road . And they have always "right of way" ...
Near Olifants, Kruger National Park, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Short Canyon is near the southern foot of the Sierra Nevada. It's a desert with joshua trees and rocky hills with a lot of sand, with runs for dirt bikes and offroaders. In a good year, Short Canyon can produce a bumper crop of wildflowers. 2022 was not a good year, but I did find this showy bush of sunflowers. In 2003, I witnessed a superbloom in this area.

Land Rover Owner International Show at the East of England Arena, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom on Saturday 15th September 2018.
About the photograph.
As a fan of tigers, whenever I seen any vehicles with tiger strips painted on them, I often admired their paintwork.
This is a Land Rover Discovery, a first generation Series I model (1989-1998).
The majority of this Discovery’s back is covered with tiger strips paintwork, while most of the front is left simply in jet black colour.
The Discovery is a series of seven-seater family SUVs, manufactured by Land Rover (later renamed as Jagar Land Rover).
The Range Rover was designed to be an everyday 4x4 that could work as either a utility vehicle or a family car, while the Series models (1948-1985) was often seen as a light agricultural and utility vehicle. However the Range Rover moved towards a more upmarket luxury vehicle, so the Discovery was intended to fill in the role the Range Rover was originally supposed to be for.
The Discovery Series I was presented during the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, it was based on the Range Rover, but designed to be more affordably, and as a fully off-roading everyday family car. It offered a more luggage space with the optional of adding two more seats making it a total of 7 seats.

Land Rover Owner International Show 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.
About the photograph.
This is a heavily modified Land Rover Defender which had been modified for extreme off-roading, and is seen in the photo taking part in a live action show at a Land Rover show.
I have no idea who the driver is, as I did not buy a programme, so I can’t look up for information.
Note the anti-roll bars over most parts of the car, a bullbar on the front, the rugged looking tyres (tires) including the spare on the back, the heavy modified suspension all of which are part of the modifications.
This was happening during a live action shot, where many drivers of various heavy modified Land Rover models, mostly the Defender models, showcased the car’s capabilities of handling an artificial rough ground.
Here, this 4x4 is seen going up a kind of seesaw. What it would do is slowly drive up until about halfway, when the seesaw beam would balance itself, and the car would slowly move forwards until the other end drops, so it would then drive off.
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 it.
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 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.
About the photograph.
This is a heavily modified Land Rover Defender which had been modified for extreme off-roading, and is seen in the photo taking part in a live action show at a Land Rover show.
The driver’s name is J Thompson, as seen by the name sticker on the door, just above the door handle.
What Thompson was doing, was to attach his winch cable to another Land Rover, seen out of frame on the right side of the photo, so he could use his own winch to help pull his Defender up the most difficult slope, to get on top of high ground.
Note the anti-roll bars over most parts of the car, the winch on the front, the rugged looking tyres (tires), the heavy modified suspension all of which are part of the modifications. Also note the Union Flag on the bodywork.
This was happening during a live action shot, where many drivers of various heavy modified Land Rover models, mostly the Defender models, showcased the car’s capabilities of handling an artificial rough ground.

spent a few days in Bucharest and found this old-ish but well preserved vehicle. This ARO M461 is a locally made 4X4, dating back to 1957 or so, and with very high ground clearance and cross-ply high profile tyres I bet it'll go anywhere!

Despite looking like a BJ45 Land Cruiser it is actually a HDJ80.
"This isn't some vegan-loving tree-mobile. It's a monster."
I figured since I have 2 versions of this one, and because I felt it turned out pretty good, I might as well post a few angles.

Land Rover Owner International Show 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.
About the photograph.
This is a heavily modified Land Rover Defender which had been modified for extreme off-roading, with roll bars, heavy modified suspension, and the rugged looking tyres (tires).
As part of a live show, this Land Rover, along with a few others, was doing a showcase of their off-roading capabilities, by going over an artificial rough ground, and also by speeding around the arena.
Here, this one must’ve turned too fast, and the driver lost control, then the Land Rover flipped over a few times before landing on its roof.
This is the aftermath of the photo (File: 2023009-0249) seen here:
The photo shows the driver of another heavily modified Land Rover Defender stopping by to check on the upside down car, and going to help out.
Hence the title “Need Help Mate?” as if to imply that’s what he asked the crashed driver.
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.
