18 Intriguing Photographs of Transportation Around The World

In: Photography| Showcase

Written by Gareth Boyd

You probably don’t think I’m the kind of guy who is grateful of seeing good photography. Neither do I to be honest, sometimes I think some artists or photographers are crazy taking photographs of flowers, pencils and rocks… I’ve never made a blog post specifically about something that would catch your eye, so today I’ve gathered some top quality photographs of transportation around the world.

After reading this blog post please do leave a comment and let me know what you think of what I gathered together. I’d like to know what my readers actually think of the blog post.

This photograph is interesting. From the picture we can see a fascinating background of cliffs which are shadowed out by the clouds that are soon to be covering the sky. The colour tones of the sand make the van/truck stand out and also the sky.

Probably one of the most important means of transport, the train. In my opinion this photograph is trying to say that this journey is going to be long, as the train tracks fade out in the distance. Then alongside the train tracks we can see some nice flowers flourishing. Also some nice big fat cows grazing in an oncoming field.

This photograph just shows you what life is like in India where the city life is buzzing with villagers. Who says that walking isn’t an important way of transport? Maybe having legs are good to have!

When I was gathering photographs and I seen this, school sprung to mind. This photograph however is pretty damn class because, when you first look at it you would think this is a photograph took from an ending film scene where the credits are just about to start.

5…

21t5
Definately this photograph is an ‘intriguing’ one, with the city buildings in the background and an awesome big bridge, with a man just cruising on his bike. Unfortunately it looks like this photograph has been photoshopped slightly because we can see in the puddle a reflection of this man and the sky.

6…

21t6
I don’t know what city this photograph was took from, but what I really hate about is cues. Fortunately thats what makes this photograph look so good with the cars, scooters and the wet ground.

7…

21t7
Cruise liners, an expensive form of leisure and transportation but what an excellent photograph this is. I’ve been on a few cruise liners, in-fact one of these ships and they truly are a sight to see. What makes it look so perfect is the light from the ship coming down onto the still water.

8…

21t8
Look at the sky, look at the water, look at everything about this photograph to show you that it really is truly awesome! Beautiful blue sky, with amazing surroundings and with other local villagers cruising about in their wooden boats.

21t9
Here is another photograph of a long cue in a city where it appears to be busy people traveling in cars and vans. This somewhat reminds me of when I was in New York, where it was wet and waiting for an age to even move a metre forward in a long cue.

10…

21t10
The awesome colour tones of the sky reflecting off onto the still, calm water with beautiful buildings and houses covering the sides of the river just shows what a nice photograph this really is.

11…

21t11
This photograph looks like it was took whenever the photographer was driving at high speeds. Otherwise it has probably been photoshopped to blur out most surroundings to make it look like you were going at such speed.

12…

21t12
A stormy background of dark clouds with some of the orange sky peaking through looks onwards upon a plane landing… hopefully not in the sea. Yet again I’ve found another photo that presents a calm sea but such a stormy looking background.

13…

21t13
A harbour of a small town has a cloudy day but with a little sun peaking its way through upon a boat, where we can see a man swimming. From what I can see from this photograph I guess it’s some kind of swimming race.

14…

21t14
An absolutely awesome photograph however there is a hint of photoshopping as the background has a gradient colour of black to grey. The moon reflecting in the calm sea and a beautiful house sitting upon the land makes this photograph look magnificent!

15…

21t15
This photograph may not be traveling or any means of transportation, but in my opinion when you think of it as it hanging there traveling in time. However it’s quite obvious this photograph has been touched by photoshop.

16…

21t16
This is an absolutely awesome photograph without a doubt especially with us coming into the winter with cold and dark days! It just makes me feel like lighting a fire and watching snow fall from the sky.

17…

21t17
The moon and the still water makes this photograph really come to life, except in a gentle sort of way. It makes the sailors of these boats look like they’re cruising without a care in the world.

18…

21t18
Whatever way the photographer of this photograph took this, he made the light just perfect. In the tunnel we see a red and black train passing through however what really makes this photograph interesting in my opinion is the smoke coming from the train.

My favourite picture is number 16. I love snow and I love being indoors whilst it’s all cold and wet outside.
It makes me come over all festive :)
