Monochrome Madness – transportation

Modes of Transport is an exciting topic that presents endless possibilities! I must commend our host Dawn from The Day After. for an idea with lots of possibilities. The world is filled with remarkable ways to travel, the ones I chose are some of the obvious ones! To keep things clear and focused, here are a few that stood out to me.

I have taken few shots of trams 😀


Vintage horse-drawn carriages, the historical modes of transport.

Few that travel by waters


An old, rusted tractor abandoned in a field,that shows the passage of time and the remnants of agricultural transport.

Transport with two wheels


Colorful public buses, but in B&W , the local transportation in Sri Lanka.

Details of carriages

Details of the harnesses and carriages were that dates from the 1880’s.

I did a set in color and in black and white, as I’ve said before, the atmosphere is totally different in them, in my humble opinion. Do you agree or disagree?

A swift carriage, of a dark night, rattling with four horses over roads that one can’t see–that’s my idea of happiness.
