Photo taken on 8-05-2008 by wide-angle lens from top-down angle.

9-yr-old daughter of my fisherman friend was tired & was sleeping on the
concrete area under the bridge. One hour later, she would join her father
out to sea by a little fishing boat to catch fish, crabs and prawns. Over-
fishing =>landing of sea produce is poor, say, with a sale value of U$10
for the some 4-hr trip at sea. Of course, some of the catch will be used
for own consumption. .. The taste of poverty is very unpleasant & bitter !

unpleasant? yes, bitter? unlikely. i find the freedom it affords rather pleasant. look like she could stretch out at the first best place right on the concrete! a rich girl doesn't have that freedom. she would have to worry about her clothes.

Regrettably dear friend Losp, these histories repeat in many parts of the world and it should not be this way, the children deserve a happy childhood!!!

I agree with you and Junne.

A cherubic child, bless her with a sweet dream ! Life is almost that, like a box of chocolate, sometime hash, sometime hard, sometime hush......
Dream on the concrete with free and brave heart, sure need warm arms as well.
And great shot :))

I agree with Haw59!
It's the truth that so many times chidern from very rich familes never have peaceful hearts like children from poor families... :))
