After watching a few documentaries about how Red Bull started, i learnt of the Red Bull mini cooper and became fascinated with it.
So, when i got a chance to shoot it, i gave it both a panning shot and a sunset vibe. I shoot mostly for my Instagram, hence the reason some of my photos are in 1:1 aspect ratio.

Turning a Mini Cooper into a “Ute”?

My first thought was “that seems like an Australian thing to do”, and the trees in the background of the first shot look like eucalypts.

But maybe I’m being insular - it can’t be just Australians that chop off the back half of th e roof.

the trees in the background in the first photo are mostly Acacia trees. and the vast open space in the background is a national park. the only national park in the world located in the city, called Nairobi national park.

It might be the only national park in Nairobi, but I grew up in Perth, Western Australia, and Kings Park is a national park in the middle of the city: https://www.bgpa.wa.gov.au/kings-park :) I even remember being told that it was one of the few national parks in an inner city location - I know of multiple others, like Phoenix park in Dublin (which I recall being told was one of the few national parks in the middle of a city… Phoenix Park has wild deer in it).

Well, Phoenix Park has wild fallow deer roaming in it. And that's not counting Dublin Zoo (also in the park)

Kings Park has smaller wildlife, but there are still numerous species, including dugites (a highly venomous snake).
