Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things People Drive (Ride, Pilot or Captain)


Two Wheels, Four Wheels, No Wheels, Legs

I do seem to take a lot of photos of types of transport. It is a favourite subject of mine after all.

Two Wheels

Many cities have free or cheap bike hire. In Singapore it is free and the bicycles turn up all over the place. Melbourne is a bit more regimented.

Four Wheels

I spotted this delivery truck in Singapore, a little bit of Tasmania for sale.

Hop on Hop off tour buses are found in many cities too. This is the Hobart one obviously.

Wheels on Rails

I can never visit Melbourne without taking photos of trams and there is another bicycle too.

This ferry does tours.

Like trams in Melbourne, I can’t resist taking photos of ferries in Sydney.

Taswegian1957

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
