Siddaganga VOLVO B7R Mark 3 9400

3:17:00 PM Biswajit SVM Chaser 0 Comments

Friday morning - Opened my eyes on bed, My Mom waking me up, telling a VOLVO is there near our apartment, infront of Panchamrut Restaurant, Maratha Colony :) . I jumped out of bed, and saw a pure white Siddaganga VOLVO B7R Mark 3 standing in front of my apartment. Brushed my teeth, went down and clicked it from rear, by the way i have clicked it before too in Belgaum - both interiors and exteriors. I thought of taking some Aerial shots of this beauty. I went to my apartment terrace, took some nice aerial shots of the beauty from our terrace at 5th floor.

By the way, the bus was carrying VIPs and VVIPs of State Assembly from Bangalore, participating in the ongoing Assembly Session in Belgaum. They had come for breakfast at Panchamrut.

I have clicked the same VOLVO before in Belgaum, as it had arrive from Bangalore on a group booking contract, but it was nice to get it again near my house which helped me to get some Aerial shots of it. :)
