Hello cuneyt. One does not know with the picture whether one is to be astonished or laugh. As much luggage and people on a car. A really beautiful and picture worth seeing. Perhaps the picture could be technically somewhat better. Many greetings, Wolfgang.

Hi, Cuneyt!
I heard about these vehicles from my friend - a hitch hiker. He came across all Africa and he and his friens often went by cars like this one. Good shot! It has its own character.

Hello Cuneyt,

Welcome to TE.

Amazing picture! Impressive and funny. 3 days for 700km sounds reasonable. I would have been surprised if you'd said 10 hours.

Thanks for sharing

Tony

Hi Cuneyt!
Welcome to TE!
What a "heavy" photo. It's a good capture. I like it. A really daily scene, I suppose!

Hi Cuneyt,
I would hesitate using this transportation. Have you done that? The difference between europaen imagination of security and real life somewhere on earth is big. This is a very good impression of that. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Cuneyt,
Interesting shot for a life style, funny, but a little sad in the same time. Good for a magazine!

i hope the car is a Toyota. So, this is like a regular trip, I mean the car makes regular trips from Chad to Libya?
anyway, looking forward to see more pictures from the area, I had someone that worked there.

Merhaba Cuneyt,
Un véritable exploit avec un véhicule dépassant largement la surcharge, ce n'est pas la même mentalité,c'est la débrouille totale avec le peu de moyen
Bien vu
Amitiés Joseph

I like this scene a lot, as you could see it for yourself at the spot, funny, so packed, only I should put on some glasses to see it sharper :)), I tried a WS to do so, hope you like it ?
Really a pleasant shot worthwhile to work out.

Salam Cuneyt
Is there is some place for me ?
Very nice humoristic composition, but your notes are also very serious.
Well done.
Cheers.

Hi Cuneyt,
well seen shot. Like the kids happy face. I wonder how many times he asks,"Are we nearly there yet?". Just look at the weight on those back tyres!!
Regards,
Mark
PS. Three days, we have a road in England like that. It's the M6.

sufi (9568) 2006-11-28 4:04

Merhaba Cuneyt...
Harika bir kompozisyon... Gerci biz Türkiye'de bu tip tasimaciliga aliskiniz ama cok mizahi bir fotograf olmus... Kamyonet agirliktan ortadan bölünecekmis gibi duruyor...
Ellerine saglik...
Saglicakla kal..

pady (4800) 2006-12-15 15:40

Cheers

twjthornton (1888) 2006-12-22 14:23

This is soooo much fun.
I have experience of travelling on buses and trucks like this.

Well caught and framed

banyanman (7716) 2006-12-31 4:32

Great capture Cuneyt - not particularly creative as the composition goes but an image in the real TE spirit, teaching us about the world. I hope that rear suspension lasted the trip! Henk did a great job of sharpening in his WS. Cheers . . . David

8!#$@* me. how can that car go anywhere! I have seen many things all over the world but this is just, well a little bit over loaded.
Great humourous photo that here in England we could never see (party poopers here).

gunbud (27585) 2007-02-06 19:09

Hi cuneyt,
Very spectaular human interest photo of daily life in the dessert. I would not want to spend 3 days seated that high in the hot sun.
Regards, Tom

abulafia (4802) 2007-02-13 13:48

Hello Cuneyt
Good shot of this old car! amazing to see what they can pack on a single car, and even more so knowing that the trip is for 3 days.
Nice shot
Harry

saylan-cb (12726) 2007-03-31 13:33

Merhaba Cüneyt,
Libyada bu ve benzeri manzaralar görmek hiçte şaşırtıcı değil doğrusu:)Ertanın dediği gibi arabaya yazık lol...Çok farklı ve çarpıcı olmuş senin karende...
Ellerine sağlık/İyiki doğdun C.İ.K
Selamlar/Sevgiler
