Jeepney II.

Etymology
The word jeepney is commonly believed to be a conflation of "jeep" and "jitney", or "jeep" and "knee", the latter referring to the jeepney's crowded face-to-face seating.

Hi Achim

It looks like a still from the old 'Romancing the stone' movie with Michael Douglas. Tfs!

Hi Achim,
I like your POV and the composition for this very crowded bus. It contrast very well with the green environment and the use of the diagonal is excellent. Very well done.

Only in the Philippines can you see a Jeepney with a Mercedes and Volvo Logo on it. A goo capture!

Hello Achim,
Probably only in the Philippines?
Excellent jeepney capture, typically crowded inside and some on the roof...
Well composed, good colours and details!
Greetings,

Hallo Achim,
super dieser Jeepney, voll gepackt nur noch Platz and der frischen Luft zu bekommen. Gut gewaehlte Perspektive und der Bildaufbau ist prima. Farben, Schaerfe und Bildschnitt sind klasse.
Gruss..Sky

A good capture of the Jeepney, Achim. I almost wished you had waited a tiny bit longer so that the branches would not hide so much of the top of the bus. Otherwise, nice light & good sharpness. Very intersting photo-journalism type picture. Well done!

Achim, you do travel a lot! And thanks for visiting our country!
You've captured a typical slice of life in one of the many rural areas of the phils. (why rural, because it's not allowed in the metro to have a live passenger on top), unfortunately, that small branch destroys the full view of that jeep(clinging passengers included). Thanks anyways for sharing!
