Pictures out and about

My camera is always in my bag so when there is a photo opportunity while I am in the car I just grap it and shoot. The building to rent is a shell with nothing in it. Funny. Who would spray paint numbers on their cars. Accidents. Everyday somewhere someone has crashed a car. Car from Bahrain. Maybe a sign of escaping from the unrest. The last photo made me sick to my stomach. A mom and dad had 2 little girls in the back of their car and allowed them to hang out each window. The speed limit is 80km in this part of town. I was terrified when we went around a corner the one in pink (at the right of the car) would fall out and get run over by another car. I held my hand over my eyes and asked Brendon to speed up so we could get away from the situation. There is a huge emphasis on family and children here and yet it is legal to let the children sit, stand, bouncy around the car without any restraints. New born babies are held by their mothers who sit in the front or back. In a country with a lot of local wealth why not spend a little on what is really important!?
