Watch your Step

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 6 July 2007 in Transportation.

One day when I was returning from the Japanese Intensive Course I saw this bicycle, I imagined the moment when it came to be like this and the expression of the person that was riding it, =|.
I was lucky to have the camera with me that day!
I Hope you like it, thanks for your visits and comments and I wish you a wonderful day!

Photo shot in the way between Sengawa station and the Soshigaya International House in September 14th, 2006.
