Ailsa’s travel photo challenge: Ailsa proposes the theme of Tradition this week. Her post is multicoloured – take a look: http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/07/20/travel-theme-tradition/
My post has only two colours: black and white. The photo is entitled ‘Water cows’ (water buffalo) and comes from my father’s war album of photos taken in the Middle East. This one is in Egypt, where the water buffalo is the most important domestic animal.
If farmers traditionally transport their cows on foot along a certain route, then an expanding city will just have to accommodate them.
very apt for topic,, love it. 😉
Squeak, look at the little baby buffalo, so cute. Great choice of photo, Trish!
I thought so, too. And clearly he needs to be led or he’ll wander off or get trodden on.
Wow – those are big animals – and they are so orderly in their march!
I’m glad you noticed that they’re walking in a straight line – I thought about this myself. Such submissive animals.
Great photo for the theme, Trish. How lovely to have such old photos.;)
Thanks. I’m so glad there are people out there who enjoy them.
The place is Cairo railway station square, formerly Ramses Square
Thanks very much for this information.
