Wherever you travel on this grand planet of ours one thing remains the same: there are those who have authority and those who don’t. And unfortunately, as a traveler, you typically fall into the category of those who don’t.
The spirit of state-sponsored authority can be read in the faces of the men and women who embody it. From the mask-like scowl of the police official in Laos to the cute-as-a-doll smirk of the English Bobby, the safety, security, and freedom of your entire trip may ultimately hinge on the whims of a few select authoritarians.
So puts your hands in the air and spread your legs, because this week we are taking you on a visual journey of Authority, ‘Round the World.
If you like our ‘Round the World series, you might enjoy some of the previous themes: fanny packs, dogs, Jesus, swimming, sweaters, mustaches, stairs, chess, foods, silhouettes, outhouses, cemeteries and donkeys.
