Long Day
This is not a majestic scene like the Avenue of the Baobabs in my last post, but a slice of everyday life on Madagascar. Many work in the rice fields, but in this area, there is another option. We found many families camped out in their favorite spots along the river bank digging and sifting through the dirt looking for sapphires. This family is heading home after a long, back-breaking day...

What a great story telling image. There are a lot of villages and scenes like this close to where I come from, but never had an opportunity to go and photograph them. Love this +Linda VillersMay 1, 2014
Thanks +Saji Saju! The whole country was like this, we just didn't have time to stop for photos most of the time. There are lots of blurry photos from the window of our bus...May 2, 2014
