So Many Ways to Get Around













#1: I've seen up to five people on a single motorcycle, but that's normally young guys. Loved this family photo. Have seen this a few times with a lady in a burka but have yet to capture it.


#2: I just love the strength I see in the woman walking alongside her husband, I assume that of course. As I've shared with you before, walking is the primary mode of travel in Kabul.


#3: Got chills when this guy caught me capturing a picture of him... he was not happy about a foreigner taking his photo. Fortunately, our van was faster than his horse and I do not believe he was armed.


#4: Was thrilled to find a tractor in the midst of the city, although it wasn't a John Deere. Thought the diversity in this one was worthy of the blog


#5: Just love the way they transport their sheep. First, I thought what a beautiful animal! Then I noted the "cool dude shades" on the very western motorcycle rider... you will rarely find an Afghan wearing sun glasses. Then the traditional Afghan man in the background.


Enjoy!!!

  2. I have a shot of a camel strapped in the back of a pickup truck in downtown Cairo. You do what you have to, I guess.
