Preserving Tradition: The Iconic Bullock Cart Rides of Jaffna, Sri Lanka
In Jaffna, Sri Lanka, Tamil people organize traditional bullock cart rides every Sunday. This tradition dates back to the mid-80s when agriculture was the primary livelihood in the region, and most households owned bullock carts. In a bullock cart, the bulls are harnessed in front with a rope, while the rider sits at the front of the carriage, and items are loaded onto the back of the cart.

**Nephila pilipes**, commonly known as the giant golden web spider, is a species of orb-weaving spider belonging to the family Araneidae. Found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including Southeast Asia, Northern Australia, and the Pacific Islands, this spider is known for its large size and striking appearance. Females are notably larger than males, with body lengths reaching up to 4-5 cm and leg spans of up to 15 cm. Their webs are impressive, often spanning several meters in width, and are constructed from golden-colored silk, which gives the spider its common name. The silk is not only visually distinct but also strong, allowing the spider to capture a variety of prey, including large insects and even small vertebrates. Nephila pilipes is not considered dangerous to humans, though its bite can cause mild pain or irritation. This species is also known for its sexual dimorphism, where the much smaller males often live in the web of a female and may be involved in complex mating behaviors.

description paragraph about cats
Cats, known scientifically as Felis catus, are beloved for their agility, independence, and playful nature. These creatures have been companions to humans for thousands of years, appreciated for their ability to hunt pests and their comforting presence. With their sleek bodies, sharp retractable claws, and keen senses, cats are adept hunters, though they are equally content lounging in the sun. Their communication is a mix of vocalizations, like purring and meowing, and body language, such as tail movements and ear positions. Cats are obligate carnivores, requiring a diet rich in meat. Their enigmatic behavior, ranging from sudden bursts of energy to serene napping sessions, adds to their charm, making them fascinating pets and companions.

– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.

Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
