Street Photography # 7: Courage and Determination
A junior high school student braving the rain and traffic on his bicycle on his way home from school. What's more inspirational than the courage and determination he shows?
A fresh from the oven (camera) photo, taken this afternoon on the street of Bandung.
This photo is my participation for the Monochrome Maniacs meme. Please click the link to see other participants' wonderful black and white photography.
Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteAt least he is going in the right direction. A brave shot also.
ReplyDeleteYep, you see that boy and describe him like the real teacher you are.
ReplyDelete:)
Fresh from the oven! 8^D
ReplyDeleteOur traffic laws allow for bikes to be part of the general traffic flow too, with the responsibility to obey the same regulations, but I'm not brave enough for that yet.
Beautiful shot. I'm not familiary with your geographical location, but are you near that earthquake that struck over the weekend? I hope you are safe.
ReplyDeletethat is determination! Would he have that much getting to school? hahaha, I'm sure he would. Not participating just checking it out.
ReplyDeleteOur children are always determinated in this direction : Home from school. On the opposite direction, home to school, it's less obvious!
ReplyDeleteFor some children it's a privilege, others concider going to school as an obligation.
Great Black and white picture. The speed, rush, traffic all is perceptible in your picture.
Perhap government consider special lane for cyclist.Oh ya!!!scarecrow is orang-orangan in Malay.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
Hem...maybe that boy wants to campaign "Stop Global Warming!!!" just like a community: "Bike to work" in Jakarta...I think "Bike to school" sounds interesting...;)
