OMG, it that a camel pulling the wagon ??? Are you sure this isn't a print screen from one of those video games where one has to drive as fast as possible around alot of obstacles in the road ??? And what were you riding on to be able to take this shot ? An elephant ? One of the elephants being fed by Loulous elephant-feeding baskets ?

Owen, this is a camel pukking the cart, you're right !
And , as you wrote, driving on open roads in India is really like a video game except ... you have only ONE life !!!

Nice one!!
Great capture I must say!!

Arnaud said...

Owen : Please read "pulling", not "pukking" ! Both letters are too close on my keyboard ! :-)
Sishir : Thanks, that's the privilege of being on the front passenger seat, you have a better view on the upcoming traffic !!! :-P

Arnaud, it took me a little while to figure out "pulling", at first I thought "pukking" must be local dialect for pulling, and much better pukking or pulling than "puking" !!! No, we don't want to see the camel puking after having worked too hard at pukking the wagon !
:-D
