Nostalgia (Taxis), a photo from Karnataka, South

Photographer's Note

I took this outside my hotel. I really miss these vehicles (by the way, they are taxis). Still remember how comfortable they are (they still are). Apparently, it is still produced today. Why nobody made cars of the fifties/sixties anymore like the good old American cars with rocket tailights???

A very nice collection. This model is called the Ambassador in India, and yes, is still made, they are based on the 1950s UK model of Morris Oxford. I suppose the reason this sort of thing is not made anymore is because basically they were uneconomic, unreliable, and (especially US ones) handled like tanks. But none of that puts me off. For this, I think you could have got a better PoV by moving closer, if only to get the sign at lesast to the sidelines.

nice shot of the Ambies Mark
closer crop of the foreground would bring the ambies forth for more impact

Still, I like the shot, ambies are cool looking :)
