Corvette Stingray Coupe

Sadly the owner wasn’t around when I found this beautiful American sports car in a carpark in Tekapo. This means I don’t know much about the vehicle other than it is a red Chevy Stringray Coupe, third generation and probably built sometime in the early 1970’s. Having seen many classic cars, particularly American models this is one of the best. Not only is the car perfect, but the location is great, no other cars around it and with a muted colour for the background. This makes the car stand out even more.

Morris Minor Car

Coming to New Zealand for the first time, I had many expectations of what I would be photographing. From rugged coastlines and weird coloured lakes to huge mountains. One thing I never expected was a Morris Minor. Despite this photographs appearance, this car wasn’t alone. Parking up next to a collection of around a dozen old Morris Minors. It turns out that New Zealander’s love classic cars, from American Muscle cars and vintage English sports cars to even the humble Morris. This must have been a club meet down in Cardrona but I have seen many classic cars on my travels around the country.

City Circle Tram, Melbourne

Melbourne has one of the most impressive tramway networks of any city I have been too. With out 150 miles of track, nearly 500 trams and 1763 tram stops across the city you see why this is the largest urban tramway network in the world. The first trams were pulled up and down the streets of the city in 1884 by horse, just five years later they moved to electric trams. Above is a photograph of the City Circle tram, a free route running around the central business district. As you can see this route operates some of the oldest, heritage class trams.

Line of Tuk Tuk’s in Bangkok

Known by many different names in different parts of the world but here in Thailand they are called Tuk-tuks and here I managed to avoid being noticed by the drivers long enough to get a shot of them parked up along the road. They are a unique way to see the city and yesterday I took my first ride in one. I think every photo that I took on board is extremely blurry, probably because of the lack of any kind of sides to stop my camera bag rolling off into the road whilst we turn around corners. Still it was great fun!
