ABC Wednesday

ABC Wednesday, letter O for Off road.

In my job I need to go off road many times a year. Sometimes I walk, sometimes I use ATV and snowmobile to get to a mountain top. I use a Polaris 6x6 ATV in the summertime and a Polaris Switchback 600.
Most of the time it's fun to use these vehicles, but sometimes I get stuck with the snowmobile. 260 kg stuck in deep snow can be a challenge to dig out and lift alone.

Now and then I go by helicopter to save a lot of time.

These pictures are shot with an Old camera, hence the quality.

  4. Good morning..., kjeder meg på jobb du... overhode ikke lyst til en eneste ting... må derfor kikke inn til mannfolka... og her var det hestekrefter du :-)) og jøss så lyst jeg fikk til å krosse litt.
    Firhjuling har jeg kjørt ja, men ikke på snø desverre, det har jeg til gode ennå. Flotte bilder Ivar.

    Fin dag til deg, sol å greier.

  5. 260 kg is not only a challenge. It is a problem.
    Take care and do not destroy your back.
    Call for Helicopter asap.

  13. The first picture looks like it could have been taken here in Arkansas. The second one couldn't have been. As far as I know there are no snowmobiles in Arkansas. I guess a helicopter would be the ultimate off road vehicle.

  18. Likte best helikopteret jeg...Juhuuu...full fart. Da hadde vi kommet oss opp til Ruten i en fart.
    Men ATV fikk da frem noen minner hos meg...
    Her er historien...mange vakre vinterbilder også kan jeg friste med:

  21. The modes of transport amazes me. I do well to drive a car.

    I am doing something different on my Gordon, Ohio blog. I set out to photograph and describe every house in the village where I was born.

  25. Får lyst til å prøve de kjøretøyene dine :-)
    Stikker du innom bloggen min kan du se hva jeg leker med. Men nå er sesongen over.....

    Kanskje jeg bør ta flysertifikat? Stilig med det røde helikopteret mot den hvite snøen.

  26. Photograph about helicopter is definately winner among these three photographs. I like the strong contrast between white nature and red paint in helicopter.
