A couple of street shots from Colombo

Both shot handheld with the VR lens at 200mm.
A decade ago, one would see many more people ride a cycle to & from work. Now it is considered to be 'low class' and the demand is for automated forms of transport. My grandpa talks about how he'd hitch a ride off the back of a bus by holding on from his bike. I've never seen this personally, but the massive number of vehicles on the tiny roads probably makes it impossible/suicidal for one to do it today?
The local scratchy seller. Like other parts of the world it is good money for the people in control of the industry, same sort of standards doesn't seem to flow onto the vendors...
