while driving home one day........


.......we spotted this random guy riding a donkey; he took off ahead of all the cars at the traffic lights, just such an unexpected and hilarious sight - man on donkey moving at speed not just during rush hour, but through miles of road works on the main highway between Manama and Saudi........... crazy or brave?

And where was he going?

Where had he been on his donkey?

Don't see much animal life around in Bahrain, so major surprise to see this.

Wasn't the best photo either as by the time I got my act together turned the camera on, fumbled around taking the usual photo of my hand while I work out which way the cell phone camera points..... anyway, at least I snapped him for my memory of Bahrain, even if he is disappearing off into distance. Don't think I'll get employment at National Geographic for wildlife shots.

Wonder if he is going to obey the "go slow" sign - NO ONE else does :-)

Or is this just McDonalds answer to solving global warming? Home delivery on Donkey instead of car. (yes McDonalds delivers here, as does Pizza Hut, Starbucks, etc etc one need never leave the house..............)

  1. So, a picture of an ass on an ass, in 40 degree heat, through a major intersection - that about sum it up. Don't care where you are from, thats funny right there.
