PhotoHunt#28 Walking





Walking is fine if you do it leisurely and you have the option to ride; but if you have to walk with a heavy sack on your head without promise of any ride, it's another story.

Walking with a heavy load is indeed a more difficult walk - on several different levels. Nice shot for the theme - and thanks for stopping by!

Nice photos you have there. I guess the child there gave the woman inspiration to carry on despite the heavy load.

Looks like the road is beginning to rise too, making a heavy load that much worse. Nice take on the theme this week.

That is a great photohunt. Very 'real'

For me the worst of it would be having to hike along a highway where fast cars might be passing.

Nice take!

That would be hard of the feet. Nice cycle ride though.

Good shot! I admire people from the provinces, they have the strength and stamina to walk long distances even with a heavy load.

Thanks for stopping by to look at my PH entry =)
