Movement: each of the three creatures here is raising a foot to move forward.
My father captioned this photo “Camel Bridge”. I’ve done some research and found it is a footbridge over a boat passageway through a dam wall on the Nile. It’s known in English as the Great Delta Barrage. In Arabic (from Google Maps) it’s Alkanater Kheireya. The wooden bridge was lowered for foot traffic, and when boats needed to pass through, it was folded up against the building wall.
Trish, I keep saying it but that is because I really do like your oldie black and white pictures…..;)
Thanks Gerry. After 6 months of looking at them and selecting them to match themes, I, too, am starting to appreciate them for their historical and aesthetic value. When I look at my “WWII Photos” page and see them uninterrupted, I think about blowing them up and hanging them on a wall somewhere.
Wow. This is brilliant. Simply love this shot!
Thanks Tahira. I’m trying to work out where this camel bridge is by comparing it with photos on the web. No success yet.
This one can be ‘movement’ AND ‘fleeting momepment’. Good eye, dad. 😉
I hate typos! 🙁
some will probably look very good framed…
Definitely movement! I don’t know if the camel could hold that pose very long, but I’m sure both men had to keep moving. Great photo!
I love how you keep finding the right fit Trish among these old photos
