Sunday Stills ~ Mechanical Transportation

 

Ed’s photography instructions for this week’s Sunday Stills challenge is: “if it runs on fuel and carries two or more passengers”.

The following photos are my interpretation of this challenge. Let me know what you think, or which ones are your favorites. Thanks!

You could say that this Mechanical Transportation carries a different kind of fuel...or rather ‘gas’. *grin*

These three cars used to carry fuel and passengers, but no more, since they were recently used as mechanical transportation sacrifices for the insatiable Big Foot Monster Truck.

A car within a car. Hey! Does this make it a two-for-the-price-of-one deal?

Even when I look in the sky above my house I find Mechanical Transportation.

Does horse-power count, too? No? Well, the truck can carry fuel and passengers and has horse-power, too. Personally I prefer the hoofed transportation better.

But not this kind of hoofed transportation. The patriotic-colored cars are much better, don’t you think?

My twinling sons and their friend prefer their Mechanical Transportation to be green.

I prefer my own Mechanical Transportation not to be stuck in a muddy ditch. But sometimes stuff happens. Thanks to my sons and hubby for pulling me out.

I like it when you re-post pictures, because then I can say, "Oh yeah, I remember when she posted about that." Your pictures always turn out so vivid.
