 Taken from inside a tuktuk on a rainy night. I thought the Masha'Allah* sign on the tuktuk looked interesting with light passing through it.

*Masha'Allah means as God has willed.
I have not heard anyone say it when anything bad had happened.

We also say "mashallah" sometimes. It stayed from the time of the Turks, they conquered my country and ruled for 500 years. We use it instead of "bravo" sometimes, or as a compliment anyway.
Good to see you're "back".

I really love this picture. I am sure it will go unoticed. I don't knwo what the writting means. But this could be someone riding away from the love of their life looking out a taxi window, at the streets flying by, in the rain, in the middle of the night - thats the feeling I get from this photo. 10

Nice exposure. I am struck by the parallel between the limited but attractive view out the window and the view we as humans have of our future and purpose for being here. It is hard to capture this sort of thing. Well done, if that was your intent. If that was not your intent, well, such is the nature of Destiny, isn't it? 8
