[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken whilst travelling on the main road in Zimbabwe earlier this year. I think it's a good indication of the situation there...The fuel is too expensive for people so they resort to overloading any vehicle in working condition and travel so slowly to conserve fuel. These poor guys were in for a loooong, cramped journey, but the smiles show just how friendly the Zimbabweans are, even in the midst of their political problems and povety...What an awesome country!

I have done nothing to this picture whatsoever..also it was taken through a bug-splattered, cracked windscreen so please excuse the lack of great clarity..
