Road Trip — Portugal

Shared Ride #6 (2003)

  • This photograph depicts a rural roadside scene in Algoso, in the municipality of Vimioso, northeastern Portugal. A donkey is in the foreground, harnessed to a wooden cart positioned on an asphalt road. Leather straps, ropes, and metal fittings secure the animal to the cart. An elderly man sits in the cart holding the reins, while a small dog lies beside him. Cut branches rest on the cart's platform. Grass, shrubs, and trees surround the scene. The image captures a moment of everyday rural transport, observed without staging.
