Description
This is the second of my series about Senegal horse-powered vehicles. Thanks for people who have visited and commented the first one, taken at Saint-Louis-du-Senegal:
Cars of 2007, Senegal, 1, for Mousson
If you have not seen this one, go to the link above to get detailed explanations, that I will not reproduce here. This shot, taken near the Djoudj park, Northern Senegal, verifies the widespread use of animals for transportation in this country which does not produces petrol. Better dust conditions allowed me to do nearly no postwork in this one and nevertheless enjoy a very sharp image. I had just the time to jump out of the Peugeot 309 of our friend; my reflex being ready and out of its case, I released instantly the shutter.
Techdata: Nikon D70 first model with Nikkor 3.5-4.5/18-70 Pro ED at 70mm, 1/200s at f/7.1, aperture-priority automatic, auto white balance, ISO 200 manual setting.

Fortunate World traveller. Wonder how long would it take if you had to travel like that? I'll bet he has a great 8 track in the back of the horse. (LOL) Great series of meaningful images.

Incroyable, pas seulement les "Vehicules" et leur traction :-)) mais aussi ce qu´ils transportent avec beaucoup d´effort, juste quelques bouts de bois... Mais ils arrivent à vivre de cela et en tirer leur dignité...

Superbe redécouverte de l'Afrique noire grâce à tes merveilleux clichés. A nouveau la profondeur de champ permet au regard de se perdre sur ce chemin de terre à l'arrière du rythme lent des 'charrettes' lourdement chargées.

such slight animals and people as well - all who sweat to survive another day.

Je découvre tes "vraies" photos. De véritables petits bijoux. L'enfilade de ces trois convois et l'attitude des personnages, autant d'éléments qui participent à la réussite de ta photo. Je me suis rendu souvent à St Louis du Sénégal, j'ai vécu une année à Nouakkchot, ce qui me permet de te dire que l'atmosphère est très bien rendue. Bravo. Mes meilleurs voeux.

Une photo qui me parle, quand je constate le gouffre qui éloigne les pays occidentaux dans leur fuite en avant, et les pays en voie de développement, où le temps ne doit certainement pas avoir la même échelle de mesure...Une photo magnifique, Edouard!
