From the depths of my hard drive: Africa

This image was taken in Mali, Africa in December 2007. This family of fishermen were described to us as being somewhat nomadic. They fish in different ditches and canals of the Office du Niger irrigated area.
When traveling through the Segou region of Mali, we stopped on a bridge to see some of the irrigation structure. This family was going about their daily activities, which for these boys included building a grass dwelling.
The family patriarch sat nearby, listening to a radio - a constant source of information for the people of Mali.
Today, somewhere in Mali, this family is probably eeking out a meagher living along an irrigation ditch or waterway. For me, it's merely a three-year-old memory.
