Once again, old, old photos taken with a cheap camera, but I find the content a treasure so I put up with the poor quality.
I don’t know what brand of vehicle this is, but I wonder if it’s something that was built in a backyard workshop. You can see that the vehicle up ahead is also a three-wheeler, but the blue one in the foreground looks like it has had some modifications.
One thing I wonder about is the stability of the vehicle. I can imagine that it isn’t particularly safe to go too fast around a corner or it could roll over.
Check out the license plate.
Several modes of transportation were popular.
Even the bus can have a mishap. The tools lying beside the flat tire tell the story. The driver has gone for help. Either that or he has left town. Perhaps in a three-wheeler. One less tire to go flat.
These photos were taken in Kalamata (known for its olives, although it should be known for its dogs that bark all night).
During both nights we spent in a campground in Kalamata in our VW van, once heading south and then, weeks later, heading north again, dogs in the neighbourhood barked for much of the night.
When I checked my journal that I kept in those days, I noticed that after I mentioned the dogs barking, I also made a comment about people walking around late at night. This seemed to be a common thing; women pushing their babies in strollers at 11 p.m., because it was at last cool enough to be outside. So maybe that’s what the dogs were barking at – all the people going for walks at night.
