Broken Around The World

It is hard to admit when things are broken, especially if that thing is ourselves, but there are broken things all over the world.

Here is a series of broken, or a variation of broken things around the world I’ve visited.

    Yes, the rickshaw. I believe that, with just a few minor modifications, it too could circle around the Earth’s orbit 😉 Lovely theme for a posting, thanks for sharing.
