Broken Around The World

The waves breaking in Acapulco.

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.
