Hi Hao,

Back with some daily life photo this time.
This little Chinese guy in Beijing was moving a whole set of furniture on his bike........
I was soooooo amazed to see how this lot would stay on the small cart of the bike. I really looked at this with open mouth!!!
The guy moved about in the rushing traffic as if he did this every day... amazing huh?
Even when I look at this image I still can't believe he really did that!

I cropped off some needless buildings and traffic, although like this it looks like a very quiet road; I can assure you it was NOT.

Added some contrast and some saturation and added the frame and text.

Enjoy!!
Cheers,
Anneke

Heel glappig Hans, heel glappig !! doe effe nolmaal man !! ;-)
Unbelievable Anneke, that these things are normal in China. He is surely not the only one doing this.
Great image and well seen.
greetings,
Joop!

Ik denk dat ik daarom zo van het oosten houdt
Het is zo echt het is zo menselijk
Inventiviteit en het gewoon doen met wat je hebt
Maar ook de angst als alles zo wordt als wij het hebben
Heeft niets met gunnen te maken maar de aardbol als kaars is dan wel aan twee kanten aangestoken. Ik gun iedereen welvaart want dat betekent vaak een gelukkig leven en vrijheid
Maar de fossiele bandstoffen die we allemaal nodig hebben (denken nodig te hebben) moeten we een goede verdeel sleutel zien te vinden. Voorlopig levert hun situatie nog heel leuke beelden op. En misschien moeten wij het ook maar op die manier gaan doen

Hi Anneke.
Ik hoorde dat je net terug was uit China en ik zie het aan je foto's.
Ik wist niet dat je je eigenbankstel mee moets nemen. ik hoop dat je het daar heb kunnen slijten.
Prachtige opname van het hoe het leven daar is.

Groet frans

Great capture Anneke, where is the kitchen sink?

Hi Anneke.
Very interesting moment captured. This is other way to use a bike that in Holland isn`t it? Well presented and compoded.
My compliments.
Janek Kloss

:) pt

What an incredible scene captured here Anneke! Excellent comp, a moment in time you may never see again! Really nice and AMAZING that the bike can hold all that!
B-)
Linda
I'll be back.........

Welcome back Anneke. I am sorry I missed your return I have been having a rest from TL and still am :). What amazes me is the fact that these guys can actually move the loads they carry and they are all so small. An excellent image, good colour and perfect detail. TFS,
David

Wow and I thought the Dutch were mad on bicycles. I once saw a guy with a glass shower cabined (flat packed) on a moped but this takes the biscuit.
Good shot, and I like the contrast between the fairly emtpy road, the ecologically friendly human powered truck and (what looks like ) smog in the background.

TFS

Hello Anneke !

The amazing things we discobver when we travel ! You think you have seen everything , then the unexpected comes too you !

Funny one but I am sure you saw hundreds like these after that !!!

Well done. Not sure if it is the PP or the smog creating this effect in the sky. It does not look too healthy...

Cheers!
Robert

Hello Annie,
I have seen quite a few appearantly impossible freight jobs, but this is different in the sense this guy is moving heavy stuff as compared to baskets and that kind..!
It is a fine documantary, good details and a fine feeling of depth!

Wonderful!!
As a "fan"....I like all your pics.
You has always a very good "eye" for good motives.

(wow, this is my first "Critique" on treklens)

Anneke, dit zijn beelden waarvan je mond inderdaad openstaat.
Op het platteland in Zuid Afrika zagen we ook bakkies (wel auto's dus) waar de hele huisraad torenhoog in was opgestapeld, schots en scheef en dan maar hopen dat alles goed gaat....
Volgens mij heb ik nou alle china-foto's gehad, dus ik hoop wel dat je nog meer in petto hebt - dit is echt leuk...
Groetjes
Els

Hi Anneke

It adds extra if the rider is shown, otherwise this is still a great shot, good details and color tone
