Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica

Nice shot of everyday life in the rural area! The DoF is nice too. What is he doing, filling a well?

@Stunner: Yes, I think he's felling a well to irrigate its fields. All along the Nile we can see cultivated fields.

Belle photo pour nous rappeler à nous, les citoyens de la "République des satisfaits" qui gaspillons sinsa vergogna, qu'il est des endroits de la planète où l'eau est considérée comme une vraie richesse !

The heavy foilage contrasts the poor worker at the well. Nice pic.

Wow, looks really tropical, very huge bananatrees! Lovely picture of
a normal day in the life of this old man. I hope he isn't filling the well
like Stunner suggested! :)

Walt from Scarborough, Canada

The red container made me think of a gas can, but I certainly must think that it's water - nice shot, everyday life.
