Why 56 km/h?
I saw this truck in N’Guigmi last week and couldn't resist taking its picture. Truck art is fairly common here and Nigeria, the port of call for this truck, produces some top-notch painters in this genre. It’s surely symbolic on some level, but the meanings are lost on me.
Forget the unlikelihood of ever seeing a scene such as this acted out in nature and take in the aesthetics. Appreciate the artist’s use of colors. Marvel at the level of detail, like the rivulets of blood coming from the crocodile’s leg and head, where the lion has dug in its claws and teeth. And, while I can understand the artist’s desire to be anatomically correct, did he really need to add scrotums to the lion and ram? Come on, doesn't it seem a bit unnecessary?
