Lean on me baby!!, a photo from Marahoue, West

Photographer's Note

The country has a very good infrastracture of road network. A major portion of it is made up of dirt roads. With the approach of the rainy season, the sides of such roads get softer and traps passing vehicles. Trucks ladden with various goods get in trouble if they stray from the middle of the road.

The picture depicts one such incident that I came accross while patrolling the Zone of Confidance, the imaginary buffer separating the Govt held south from the rebel held north. Hope you will like it.

Well I've seen some funny things on TE and this is one of the funniest, I just couldnt imagine seeing anything like that here in Australia.

I imagine it's a common incident.
Too bad for the piece of arm on the left side, I try a WS.

great image
Ive seen many trucks flipped on there side when I was in Malawi. I always wondered how they got them right side up...now I know
I agree with the others about the arm on the side but this is only a minor problem
