I can't comment this picture, because I can't understand really what happen, really what you feel about that, the day when the rain became and felt...

A real tragedy shown in the normal mans perspective. As a photo it has qualities too, I like the colorscale where the blue and soft red are in harmony with the dirty water. Nice wet look on surfaces too.

Interesting reportage, and good story about the tuk tuk, I wonder if they ever got it working again. Added to theme.

That is a city noone dreams of.

this is a fantastic take. symbolic and appealing, put us right there, wondering how helpless we are.

Hi Rima
