This is an amphibious rescue vehicle called Defiant 11. It was parked next to Fort Perch Rock in "Glorious" New Brighton earlier today (8/10/2014).

This was taken on our emergency camera that we keep in the car. It's a Fuji AX250.

I really really like this! The lighting and mood is perfect for the subject. I got to ride in an amphibious vehicle once, and it was quite startling to drive into the water. Very nice!

When you can use either hand equally, you are amphibious--right Caruso?
It looks ever vigil in this shot.
Well done.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I like the ready-for-battle tones and lighting in this photo, Steve. Most appropriate for the subject. I think we all keep an "emergency" camera in the car. You are a dedicated and true photographer. Fantastico!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Perfect mood in this one Steve. Hope that it only have to 'stand-by' this night.

I would like to just drive into the river once! Nice capture with that sky and the vehicle in almost silhouette Steve.

I've ridden on one like these when we were visit a forces base. But they called it a Duck that's just another name for them. Really like the way it's almost in silhouette
