Pierre, very interesting shot, something that most os us would never see in a life time. Colors are that rich afternoon golden and while the washed out sky doesn't help much your focus and use of dof make the shot memorable. Well seen and captured.

Salut Pierre,

Bravo pour cette photo "sur le vif"...encombrante!
On pourrait la rebaptiser la Citrouille roulante(en trafiquant les teintes, ca peut se faire(rire)!
Je me demande comment ca se passe dans les virages!
Bien vu!

Hello Pierre,
Amazing picture. However, I think that it is only interesting for us but is a common sight in Pakistan. The other people don't seem to be bothered, moreover the cyclist man is looking at you. He has not seen a surprised tourist in the middle of the road taking photo of an ordinary straw transporting lorry. What's interesting in a lorry?
Well, they would also be amazed by a lot of things in Europe which are common sights for us.
Greetings,
etlerl

Hahaha ! Excellente photo ! Looks like kind of big larvae on wheels !I've seen a bunch of these FAT load in Pakistan. The picture is very good and the light as well. Shot in late afternoon right ? Thanks for sharing !

Hello Pierre,
This is a funny picture because that pile is so fat, it looks like it's about to burst. In fact, you can see the lining stretch enough to see the straw sticking out. Well taken photo with lots of detail and full of life due to many human subjects. Good light too due to the sun setting to your right.

Regards,
Erdem

Salut Pierre. J'en vois des camions ou des triporteurs surchargés en Chine... mais celui-là va directement dans ma gallerie 'Favorites'! Tout simplement exceptionnelle! Et la composition est parfaite. Tibo

Hi Pierre ,
A well spotted shot.We can have such a view only in the 3 rd world probably. A humorous and documentary shot.

What kind of transport is that? I've never seen anything like this! That's what I like about Trek Earth, to being able to see something I would never expect to see. Good job!

wolf38 (13438) 2007-10-24 9:02

This is very funny. You caught it in the best way.

lespicaros (5518) 2007-11-07 8:22

Bonjour Pierre

A première vue, on pourrait croire à la dernière animation d'un parc WallDisney ou bien encore ...

En réalité c'est une scène de vie bien réelle, le rendu est vraiment superbe
(peut-être dommage qu'il y ait ce flou à gauche de la photo, bizarre)

Bravo et Bonne journée

Laurent

Salut Pierre, this is true TE shot. Bringing us something new, unusual and distant. I've been to Pakistan this year, but was not lucky to see such a thing. It is great that you also have some people on bikes and motorbikes on the road as they give great scale to that huge truck. Well seen. Lucie

devimeuxbe (56598) 2007-12-10 5:31

Bonjour Pierre
Et oui, c'est vraiment assez etonnant ce cahrgement. L'image outre son interet humoristique nous offre aussi une tres belle lumiere
Bien vu
