Challenge 379: Rickshaw Rick
I'm indebted to Gordon Bain, aka GKB, for this photograph of a rickshaw that he captured on his travels a couple of weeks ago. It's a great vehicle, with something of a comical air to it. I was thinking, it could be the subject of a great Disney movie - Rickshaw Rick - detailing his travels around the world. Of course, it would need either to have a driver, or to be given a face of its own, and perhaps a passenger or two. Can you make a star out of this taxi? High res is here.  |

It should, of course, be noted that this illustrates the de luxe version! They are to be spotted regularly driving on the wrong direction, including roundabouts. In Delhi the word 'pandemonium' totally fails to describe the standard ( standard???!!!  ) of driving. 
And if it's of any consolation - Mumbai is worse!! 
Hilarious places. Y'all have fun with this one. 'Fraid I probably won't have time to join in this week. _________________ Only one shopping day left until tomorrow! |

Runaway Tuc Tuc! Rickshaw Rick's not too keen on these steep English banks.

Thanks, Josephine. The elephant's expression was perfect, I didn't touch it. I had to make he mongooses look fearful, which is not a natural emotion for a mongoose. So yours is the latest fad, the rolling pub. I believe its time has come. Is that someone well known in there? B'e Well.

The rolling pub? Well that would be one way of staying ahead of the licensing laws _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Challenge 379: Rickshaw Rick
I think I've lost the plot. Hayabusa Tak Tak. No passengers, they skipped or fell out earlier (Hayabusa - Japanese for Peregrine Fulcan, a 1300cc 185+mph bike and more, faster than the Jota, but Jota sounds good .
Beautiful bird though and I did see one at a show with a falconer. Like this ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mTPEuFcWk "The Peregrine Falcon is often stated to be the fastest animal on the planet in its hunting dive, the stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds commonly said to be over 320 km/h (200 mph), and hitting one wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact". I'd say "whoosh", but no sound! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_Falcon ) Update: oops missed a few things .

Rather a hurried one again this week. This is just to make the Indian tourists feel at home when visiting their National Parks. Kanha National Park is the greatest place to see Tigers if anyone wishes to go there.
