Photographer's Note
Simple daily life scenes, such shots, not from ancient monuments or grand sights, often provide more insight and make the most lasting impression on those travellers who travel not to tick boxes but to experience life.
THIS PICTURE was shot from a car, stuck in daily traffic on one of the main roads of Can Tho. Though not a metropolis like Saigon, Can Tho, right at the heart of the Mekong Delta, has become quite a vibrant kind of place in its own right.

Hello Benny,
I fully agree with the first paragraph of your note. I would much rather see a street photo like this any time than the average church or palace. The motor-bikes, helmets and signs above the shops tell me so much more about life in Vietnam.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Benny,
Une belle scène de vue très animée. Ce n'est vraiment pas un endroit pour traverser . Au moins, ils ont tous des casques. Bel environnement très animé.
Amicalement

Hi Benny
the title caught my attention because here in Vancouver we have a very popular hike called THE GRIND. yes, this is certainly Asia! So different from North America for sure. It would be SOOOOO strange to go outside in my local city and see everyone wearing helmets and driving scooters! hahaha...could you imagine! We get a true sense of the traffic and the culture with all the adds. cheers

Hi Benny
Good catch on the go and great timing for the 'being there' feel showing only fraction of the traffic madness with a constant flow of motorbikes. Colourful glimpses of everyday life in the streets, I think we need soundtrack to enjoy the feel of the hustle and bustle this image generates!! Excellent.
Best regards

Hallo Benny,
Een mooi zijaanzicht van deze wachtende mannen op hun scooters. De achtergrond is interessant dankzij de vele verschillende en kleurrijke winkelborden. Het licht was ook aangenaam hier.
