Diana Australis' photos with the keyword: transport

HFF. Along a fence made of 20 km of juvenile trees, a ute( Australia) or pickup transports a giant load of produce along the Swat Expressway, in Khyber Pahktunhwa today. Such a lot on such a little vehicle! In Pakistan for the next 5 weeks. Happy weekend to everyone…Diana xxx

Traditional transport in Karnataka, Southern India. A number of decorated bullock carts, their animals beautifully decorated, were transporting families along a typical Indian highway. Think, hundreds of overloaded trucks, horns blaring, swerving and swaying....and the quiet bullock carts plodding calmly in the chaos! I thought to post virtual travel shots from all over the place to cheer my own confinement indoors!

Georgia. Svaneti, in the High Caucasus. A man using traditional heavy haulage methods for a load of wood. Best wishes to all!

Belonging to late outback artist Pro Hart. Not my car, sadly! I am away camping in the bush for a month up North.....will see you when I return....

Leh-Manali highway across the roof of the Himalaya, at 4,500 meters altitude. The road passes over many Himalayan high passes, over 5000 meters. It is closed and under heavy snow for at least 6 months a year. The snow, landslips and erosion make the surface very unpredictable. It is often blocked or destroyed completely. It is also narrow, as it is so hard to make roads in this terrain. So 'Highway" as it is here does not resemble anything in the west.......it takes two days to do the 420 km journey.
