As we travel, there are many means of transport available to get from A to B. Some are certainly more hairy than others! Then there are some that we can just get "tasters" of i.e. using the the particular mode of transport only in a specified area like a safari on horse or elephant.
Through my travels I managed to accumulate some interesting shots of the different modes of transport, including local modes of transport as well as those that transport local produce or other commercial loads.
Let me know what transport you've used that was a bit hairy and/or different. Enjoy!
