Peace trucks, dark and stained, bear red flags beneath a fiery gulmohar's overarching, distending beauty.

February 10, 2026

A convoy of military trucks is coming up the country lane. The caption says they are on a flag march to keep the peace between warring tribes.
Hanging out of the drivers’ cabs are red flags. Triangular red plates are fixed below one bonnet.
But the trucks are mostly dark green almost black as if indelibly stained by the shade of forests disappeared.
The tribes out in the open now must fight each other to be first in line. Here are trucks to keep the peace unstoppably.
The photo shows another green and red unstoppable thing: resplendent as it arches above that single file is a gulmohar tree.
Slightly out of focus doing its thing exotically until peace-keeping distends every road.
