Hello fellow TE friends, been a while since I´ve posted anything here, I am busy sorting out my life after 10 years living in Cape Town, South Africa, but now back in Angola.
This picture was taken in one of the biggest suburbs of Luanda, it is called Cazenga, my father has a bakery and an ice factory right in the heart, my first day after 10 years I went to this place, it is a mess, when it rains you have to have a 4x4 to be able to move or you choose the same way as the young man in the picture.
I was in shock to see the water full of dirt and mud almost covering our car...nobody from the top cares to fix those streets, because they do not live there...

Olá Nelson!
Excelente photo de um problema que parece bem evidente.Aquilo deve exigir mesmo algum esforço.
A foto ficou muito boa e as cores estão óptimas!

Chuva, é a pior coisa que pode acontecer em Luanda. Nem a cidade baixa escapa. É triste ver estas coisas ainda acontecerem no país rico chamado Angola. Tanto petróleo e tantos diamantes para nada. Não é bem assim, pois alguém beneficia dessa riqueza. Mas, não é o povo, certamente. O pior é que não há chuva que limpe essa porcaria no topo!!!

hi Nelson,

there are so many things in this image that speak so loudly .. it really strikes me how he is moving up against all the rest of the image falling down to the right against him .. evocative image that needs to be seen.

take care,

John
