Song of the Road?

This is only a photograph, or is it?

I took it more than a year ago with my prehistoric Coolpix L10 and then accidentally deleted the entire folder. I have downloaded this compressed version from my Orkut album where I’d fotunately uploaded it.

It is grainy and the scars of multiple rebirths and desperate makeovers are clearly visible. But I find a strange lyrical melancholy, almost reminiscent of Pather Pachali in this image, of course due to the elements in the frame and not due to my amateur photography.
