Africa Photography : Mali transport sheep pix

Things you see transported on bikes, motorbike, wheelbarrows, cars, buses and lorries constantly win the funny photo stakes in Mali.

Peter Baldwin has lots of great Mali pix including this one of sheep

Ferdinand Reus has this one of sheep on the top of a long distance bus (check out the rest of his Flickr Mali stream)

Here’s one from Johanne Veilleux (again lots of Mali pix on Flickr)

Sheep even travel by boat. (Thanks to Dianne Murray, via Travel Pod)
