No Comments ..., a photo from Punjab, East

Photographer's Note

A tractor loaded with straw, though not allowed to travel on the road in this way, but they are making there way right in the middle of the Lahore city without being noticed by any traffic Police staff,which is deputed almost at every major crossing of the city.

Hi Sajjad, one of the most interesting and funniest photos I have ever seen. Why don't you publish it in the newspaper?

Hey, it's not their fault a city was built over there. That's what happens everywhere in the world when the powerful impose their rules upon the poor. The latter have to brake the rules in order to live their life.
Its a sad and funny picture at the same time.

PS I was obviously kidding about the city being built there. I'm aware about the size of Lahore city.

HI Sajjad,

I saw similar scenes in India...with overloaded trucks and overcrowded busses!

I like your composition showing the chaotic traffic and the contrast between this "special" delivery and the normal traffic!

Greetings Sajjad-

This is hilarious!

I've seen many overloaded trucks on the highways of India, but nothing like this.

Photographically, not that great of a shot. But sometimes, the subject can overcome that. This one definitely does.

Thanks for posting this!

I like this picture very much. You have captured a real and daily scene of India. I've been in Rajasthan last November and I've seen this image lots of times. It's amazing how this people can load their tractors this way!!!

I've done a workshop. I hope you don't mind and you like it.
Best Regards
Víctor

Hi Sajjad,
This kind of load is amazing, how that could even be practical. Interesting daily life scene indeed. Strong JPG compression (only 54 kB file size) makes artefacts visible especially around edges.
