Today’s Commute

Posted on November 11, 2009

Bus with a Colorful Load
These pictures are the haul for the day. On the dusty highway I suddenly spotted these colorful balloons tied to the back of the bus. I reached out for my camera. I mean it is a much better site that watching people sitting on the top of the bus. Fir a while there was a car in between our car and this bus and I was wondering if it would go away before I could photograph it.

Colorful Load


My hunch is that the owner of this load was sitting inside the bus but there was no place to keep his stuff. So he found a way and I found a photo opportunity.

    that was a nice pic….. and it looks like the names of all family members of the owner/driver are written on the back of the bus! apart from truck art, you can now look for bus art too …:-)btw, thanks to you, I have been looking out for truck art, and there doesnt seem to be anything very interesting written on our bbay trucks!!

    I think they are plastic balls. Notice that pink and red are more in number than the blue ones. Do the kids say – Gimme red!
