While the traffic light turns green an improvised juggler plays with some skittles with the hope of receiving some coins from the drivers. It seems a hard work, but people in the red light don’t pay too much attention to those urban artists that like thousands of people in the city live their lives like a juggling act.
This is a really interesting photo, but I also love your poetic and metaphoric commentary! I'm so glad you've joined City Daily Photo on behalf of Colombia and Bogota.
ResponderEliminarSergio: Sheryl directed me to your post and likewise I am impresssed by the quality of the photo and your insight into the human condition.
ResponderEliminarfondly, Lee
Fascinating insight into life in Bogata. It looks like a dangerous way to make a living! Playing in traffic...hmh!
ResponderEliminarThanks for the comments. I actually took this picture while waiting in the red light. As this guy there are lots of people triying to make a living, what ever, eating fire or making human walls in just a few seconds.
ResponderEliminarEn Santiago, también tenemos MUCHOS de estos tipos haciendo acrobacias con cuchillos (lo encuentro peligroso especialmente para los peatones), palitroques y distintos objetos. Me acuerdo ver incluso a un viejo que se le caían las pelotas de tenis.
ResponderEliminarBienvenido a la familia CDP :)
Saludos desde Santiago, Chile.
A CDP from a country (and city) very high on my travel wish list. Great photo. I will look in again.
ResponderEliminarWe have included your blog in our guide Around The World.
ResponderEliminarThe guide is both a record of old blogs and a listing of new blogs. Although originally arising from the "City Daily Photo Blog" lists this is an independent publication. Inclusion here does not imply that a blog qualifies for nor is officially a CDPB. Our criteria are that photographs mainly from and related to a specific geographical location (not necessarily a "city" but usually more specific than a whole country or region) are posted at dated intervals (not necessarily daily) and archives are kept which are readily searchable by date.
Please keep us informed of any changes to your details.
Great shot -- informative and insightful commentary. Espero conocer Bogotá un poco mejor por este blog.
