5 bottles Diesel please! Photo

Photographer’s Note

We were on our way from Angkor back to Thailand.
This is about 180 km - therefor you need about 6 ours - on the cambodian "highways".

At a stop these two "filling station attendants" fueled in 10 Liter Diesel in her modern way.
Some drops on the floor, a very good smell in this heat, I liked the atmosphere very much.
Unbeleavable for us tourists coming from Germany.
They stored the petrol in old coke-bottles - 2 liter one bottle. - So we got 5 bottles! :-)
Very interesting to see this, i will never forget.

Hallo Sabine,
Nicely captured daily life shot from Cambodia.
Well composed with tight framing and excellent clarity in the foreground against the dusty background.
greetings,
hermann

I like this very unusual shot Wishnu. I love your pov and the reflexion on the car; however, I might have cropped a little more on the left.

Hi
Yes this is nice. When I fueled my bike I didn't have time to make photos because we have to talk for the price... Yes, nice POV.

Interesting not, indeed. The picture ... I like the scenery and most I like the sunreflection on the guys shoulders and on his back. Nice!

an interwesting and dynamis picture, Sabine. The gaze of the child suggests that the liquid is precious. Nice, dusty,tropical road sort of colour too. I see there is a poster for Funipec in soft focus too, to add context.The child's t-shirt too, is a wonderful comment on the culture.
