This silver robbery seems to be a little bit overloaded! The tiny robber doesn`t seem to be able to move his heavy theft :)
The nature of commuter travel in Sri Lanka is demonstrated here quite clearly. People hang 3 or 4 deep on the outside of the carriages trying to get home. It brings an element of jeopardy into train travel, although trains dont travel that fast in Sri Lanka this commuter will reach speeds nearing 40 mph.
This is an S9 power set one of 15 supplied by Qingdao Sifang of China. It has one powered car which contains a MTU V12 diesel kicking out 1580 hp. She is working a local service to Puttlam.
One of the many additions that the new 52 brought about to Flash's gallery of villains only to never be seen again (like most new 52 villains.) I was originally going to use a gold head but none of them really fit the character, so I had to improvise.
One single long exposure. No photoedition : straight out of the camera except for contrast/crop.

The way I processed this shot was a compromise between this lovely little girl and the landscape behind her.
If I cropped it more you would miss the context wherein this girl is living, a vast empty landscape with majestic mountains, and the small tent where she is living with here parents, and vice versa you could miss how lovely she looks, but you can see it by pressing L and F11.
The picture was taken on the vast plain around Son-Kul where we were heading for the lake. Another stretch of amazing scenery, completely different culture, where people are living their lives as they did for thousands of years (instead that now many have cars and Tv's, besides there cattle and horses). Wolfgang, one of my travel companions said this looks like parts of Mongolia which is easy to imagine.
The girl is waving us goodby after we had given here a small toy. Enjoy!
20 September I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

Everyone is probably experiencing some sort of overload in these fraught times.

I took this image 53 years ago in the Phillipines, on the island of Luzon. Notice the 59 Chevy in the background. This pony was almost suspended but when the driver got onto the cart he was no longer suspended.
