The day after King's Day.

OLEG:
Look Peter the plane has taken off.
PETER:
So exciting Oleg. I'll tell Scout the slagroomsoesjes are coming.
Apparently there are more zebu cattle than people in Madagascar as they are well adapted to high temperatures.
This image shows zebus being used to transport tourists on a tour to one of the scenic areas of the island.
Agra (Inde) - Ce cyclo-livreur est prudent. Son chargement est fragile. Il transport de la vaisselle de faïence : des bols, des tasses et des assiettes. Le moindre choc et c’est la catastrophe. C’est lui qui devra payer la vaisselle cassée. Alors, il préfère marcher prudemment à côté de son vélo pour limiter les secousses et esquiver les véhicules. C’est la raison pour laquelle ce genre de transport se fait tôt le matin quand le trafic routier n’est pas encore trop dense.
- La version N&B est plus percutante, mais comme la série a été pensée en couleur, je ne mélangerai pas les torchons avec les serviettes.
Flimsy transport
Agra (India) - This cyclo-delivery man is cautious. Its load is fragile. He carries earthenware crockery : bowls, cups but also plates. The slightest shock and it's disaster. He is the one who will have to pay for the broken dishes. So he prefers to walk cautiously next to his bike to avoid the slightest jolt and dodge other vehicles. This is the reason why this type of transport is done early in the morning when the road traffic is not yet too dense.
Ce lionceau n'a que quelques jours. Pour lui, les dangers sont partout. Bien sûr, les hyènes pullulent dans la savane, mais aussi les babouins, les serpents et autres maléfices. Pour veiller sur lui au plus près lors des déplacements, sa mère le transporte dans sa gueule protectrice.

Bulk buffering and -transfer is one of the things of the Waalhaven. Shot near the Marcor Stevedoring terminal.
The Waalhaven is one of the harbours on the left bank of the Maas in Rotterdam. With its area of 310 ha, it is the largest excavated harbour basin in the world. The Waalhaven flows into the Nieuwe Maas and is directly connected to the sea via the Scheur and the Nieuwe Waterweg.
This is number 332 of Rotterdam Harbour & Industry and 1279 of Minimalism & explicit Graphism.

This type of walking transporter was used in spaceports across the galactic disc. They were common sight and often loaded with palettes of light cargo, such as fuel canisters.
Tiny initials in the corner of a car headlight. Living in Munich there is plenty of that brand of transportation parked in any street.
Vang-Vieng (Laos) - Au Laos, il est désormais rare de voir des buffles tirer des charrettes. Pour de petites remorques, la mobylette les a remplacés. Même dans ce pays d’Asie considéré comme l’un des plus pauvres du monde, les choses changent rapidement avec la mainmise des Chinois sur l’économie du pays. Les modes de vies s’en trouvent profondément modifiés.
Ce paysan croisé sur la route des rizière semble ne pas être influencé par la présence chinoise. Lui, semble s’inspirer du Vietnam.
Laotian transportation
Vang-Vieng (Laos) - In Laos, it is now rare to see buffaloes pulling carts. For small trailers, the moped replaced them. Even in this Asian country considered to be one of the poorest in the world, things are changing quickly with the Chinese take over the country's economy. Lifestyles are profoundly changed.
This farmer crossed on the rice paddy road does not seem to be influenced by the Chinese presence. He seems to take his inspiration from Vietnam.
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft.
The versatile airframe has found uses in other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. More than 40 variants of the Hercules, including civilian versions marketed as the Lockheed L-100, operate in more than 60 nations.
The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in 1956, followed by Australia and many other nations. During its years of service, the Hercules has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations. In 2007, the transport became the fifth aircraft to mark 50 years of continuous service with its original primary customer, which for the C-130 is the United States Air Force. The C-130 is the longest continuously produced military aircraft at more than 60 years, with the updated Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules being produced as of 2023.
C-130H Identical to the Echo variant but with more powerful Allison T56-A-15 turboprop engines. Introduced in Jun. 1974 with 308 ordered.
Another one from Canterbury Cathedral.
This is a haunting sculpture in the crypt by Anthony Gormley titled 'Transport'. It is actually made up from nails from the old cathedral roof and hovers directly above the site of the first tomb of Archbishop Thomas Becket murdered in 1170.
I didn't know it was there on first entering and took my breath away.

A small handmade outrigger boat contrasts with a small freighter vessel off shore from the city of Legazpi, Philippines. Small outriggers are usually paddle boats with small motors used to get people short distances between one side of the bay or between islands and for fishing.
