THEME DAY: ANIMALS • Even when fully mature, the little brown horses of our kalesas, which are still used as public transportation in some parts of Manila, rarely grow taller than the average Filipino male (around 5'4" or 163 cm). This patient beast, and his colorful burden, was waiting for commuters in front of the Binondo Church.
Kahol! Miaow! Kokak! Taktalaok! See more animals from City Daily Photo bloggers around the world.
That is one way to get around town.

ReplyDeleteNa-miss ko tuloy bigla ang pinas...thanks Ms. Hilda.
ReplyDeleteSuch an attractive scene and the horse looks in good condition too. Good to see.
ReplyDeleteI remember using kalesas to get around as a child when we lived in Pampanga. Cheap, and kind of fun to go around in a horse-drawn carriage!
ReplyDeleteThe horse is a beauty and the little carriage is very colorful and unusual looking. Everything combined makes for a very lovely and interesting photo.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful worker bee. Most excellent theme day post.
