Gao-Niamey express Photo

Photographer’s Note

I know the picture is far from being interesting, but more is the context of its taking.
What is in the title of the picture was actually written on this truck. The distance between these towns is 450 km but took us horrific 46 hours in temperature exceeding 45 degrees. The trip was broken into small pieces followed by numerous breaks: breaks for repairing, breaks for adding water to the radiator (all these empty plastic cans on top are for that purpose), breaks for prayers, breaks for pushing the truck after getting stuck in sand, breaks just for break's sake etc.
We were completely exhausted but the trip was worth it and I will definetely remember it forever.

Hi Ray,
It's true that it's an interesting picture but I would have cropped it to focus more the attention on the truck and the people around.
I made a WS, if you want to have a look and tell me.

Cześć Rafał, właśnie zauważyłam że ktoś już stworzył workshopa do twojej fotki. Sorry, będziesz miał teraz dwie. Ja wcale nie uważam żeby zdjęcie tego autobusubyło całkiem nieinteresujące.
