Salut PAscal,
LOL quelle histoire, pour moi c'etait plus facile de faire transiter mes trains quand je jouais au railroad tycoon dans cette region, c'est d'ailleurs a cause de cela que je connais un peu la region... poster des pneus de blan-tyre c'est original ;-) et on voit que meme dans les coins les plus recules le geant d'atlanta a fait son office de "civilization", chouette image LATW.
Bon ouiiiik JY

Hi Pascal,
wonderful detail and good clear colour tones. A wonderful place to visit, one on my list duing life. Good composition of the shot, there is something facinating about how the tires are stacked.
Thanks for sharing
regards
Paul

Salut Pascal,
These daily life shots from Africa are fascinating, and Malawi is certainly off the beaten path even by TE standards. The combination of coke, tires and idle locals conveys a good sense of life there. I like the presence of the cyclist for the color he brings to the picture, as well as whatever little dynamism he adds to the lazy mood. Nice clandestine shot of the office in WS. Regards,
Hakan

Salut Pascal,
C'est typiquement une scène de vie africaine. Finalement, c'est eux les champions du recyclage. Rien n'est perdu.
Amitiés
Marc

Such a funny and smooth story that you are telling us. At least , you , guys from Switzerland and these people from Malawi, you do like long and slow discussions, but however very efficient. The picture is nice. Geraldine

Wonderful image of daily life in the area, accompanied by informative and amusing notes. All the elements are there - the group of men chatting; the man on the bike heading out of shot; the (very worn) tyres ready for sale; and then after work what better than a cold drink.
Everywhere you look in the photo there is something new to see. In a landscape shot it could be a problem not having somewhere for the eye to rest, but this isn't a landscape and nor is it a problem.

Hello Pascal,

What a story ...typical Africa AND Belgium !!!Sometimes they are the same ! ;DDD BUt luckily you got in. I don't understand "visa" sometimes ... they can make it so difficult. I got mine in Brussels for India next week and the trip to get it is worse than to get to India :)))
Nice daily life shot, the easy-going, and the everywhere-cola ..
greetings from a burocratic belgium ;D

P: superb slice of the mundane, judiciously framed. Far better job here that what an average eye would have pulled off. regards, c
