The photo

This picture was taken on 31 October 2010 in the afternoon at Tawangmangu District, Karanganyar Residence, Central Java.
It is about a man lives in a mountain area and having a horse, along with his horse he earns money for his life and his family. He hires his horse to people and visitors of a hotel who are interest of riding it, that's how he earns his Rupiah.
'Alone in this never ending road, I'll find my way back home' is what this man says to himself.

To watch this picture remind me how we are lucky living in our countries with a lot of services.
Anyway he has a family and to earn money for them made him happy to live.

I felt a kind of precariousness for his life, earning his living depending on his valuable horse which is all of his means for making money. Probably, the horse is treated with much affection and care just as one of his family members, among which a little child or children might be, and the child believe the horse as his only friend or brother, like Patrasche was treated carefully by Nello and his grandfather in a movie or a novel of "A Dog of Flanders", by Marie Louise de la Ramée.

Life is hard. But in some places harder than others. So, life is unfair.

the scene is quite blue and it has somethings like the countryside in Vietnam: quiet and vaporous, specially in raining days because there is much fog and the weather is cool. But in Vietnam, there are no more people riding horse. A man is alone in the never ending road, i like this. Is it in Indonesia?
