Do you just scour the webs for these photos? Based on the perceived location of all these I'm assuming you are based in the Middle East?

A trove for certain.

Both actually - glad others enjoy these vintage Middle Eastern pics!

They’re interesting to see for sure.
I often wonder about the backstory.
Like this set of shots, those buildings on the ledges are fascinating.

So much amazing history, architecture, and of course Land Cruisers!

My father's FJ40 in Ecuador, South America. Not sure of the year but the FJ40 seems brand new because it doesn't have tags...

Probably arround 1975 in Cotopaxi volcano, Ecuador, South America

According to the caption of this photo, developed in 1970. Pretty cool, clearly above the Arctic Circle. 40 series.

Funny foto. The Europeans driving a Land Rover and the Locals using a Land Cruiser. Despite the jangly electric wires, don't seem to see any Prius or Teslas in that environment ! Pretty much that photo could be taken today--same outfits-- guys wanting to wear dresses, and girls wanting to be guys, wait a minute ? Oopsy. Never mind.

I bet those people could drive a stick in a dress or not.

Curious,
Do you or have you taken any of these pictures you post? Also, would you be willing to share some backstory about the locations?

Thanks,
Ian

Just epic!

PS. The Brits (still) driving LRs...

In retrospect, the comments I made about the Land Rover were not kind, and full disclosure I do have several of them myself and so poking a bit of fun at myself. For those Yemenis or Omanis those trucks are more valued than their wives. The fishermen use them to drag out huge nets at the beach and carry home their camel. So, my apologies if anyone is/was offended. Mea culpa.
