Some very harsh colours and a harsh way of travelling over the mountain roads between Medan and the mountain village of Brastagi. The 100 km road takes about 2.5 hours of curving mountain up, mountain down...

I was fortunately travelling in a comfortable car behind this bus, not hanging out of the door... :-)

But what's the name of the Freaky Friday theme?!
Can't find it...

Hoi Dennis,
Freaking out in colours, like the crop and composition. Excellent contribution to the theme.

Good one Dennis! I have seen some freaky photos of bus trips, and this is an interesting one! And so dangerouos - well done
Janice

Hallo Dennis.
Good 'Action shot', haha
Here they do this when motorcrossing met zijspan, toch.?
Doet mij denken aan een lange trip met een busje in Sri-Lanka.
Levens gevaarlijk. op dit soort wegen met tegenliggers.
Well seen and good result.
Jan

Tja dit is natuurlijk gesneden koek voor ons!!

Hey Dennis,

Lots of the busses called: Combies, in South Africa are loaded like this sometimes. THis also reminds me of the Dominican Republic, they drive like crazy and honk their horns for no good reason! :P

Very vibrant image, and I just like the sillyness of the image. :)

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season ahead of you, and a wonderful New Year, take care-

Biance.

This is a really fun entry into the theme (I have now added it for you)!

Stunning clear colours (nicely saturated), superb composition, wonderfully humorous capture of the moment
Excellent work and certainly deserving of FAR more attention!

Hello Dennis, great shot for the theme, it's a very dynamic image with great colors ! It reminds me of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour bus ! (You're too young for that...) ;-) Well done, thanks !

Mario

Ticket Please!

I hope he was not charged full tariff ! Hang on !
Scary ride . I imagine the bus passing over a bumnp or in a hole ( Yike !) He should be paid to be there !

Great catch Dennis . Colorful '' à souhait ''
Well spotted and captured. I do love the tight crop and composition here.
Bravo!
Robert

This picture has very nice colors. Perfect sharpness and clarity. I think there is a bit of a glare or something..maybe a touch of contrast could do the trick. Great POV and framing.
TFS

Definitely not a candidate for monochrome. The tilt and the tight crop really suit this image well.

Hi Dennis

In the Philippines at least, if you hang off the outside you don't have to pay fare. That seems reasonable.

Good capture - the crop here works very well in my opinion. Excellent sharpness, good saturation and metering.
