Fish for Dinner

The photo was taken from an old coach in Cape Verde. Seeing the two girls carrying fishes in buckets on their heads, I tried to slide the grimy window open to take a photo. Unfortunately, the road was bumpy, the girl carrying the larger fish took it off her head, and the only things in focus are the slats on the window shutters. But the photo is typical of life in this poor country. People walk miles carrying goods on their head, such as jerry cans of drinking water, produce from market, and fresh fish when the daily catch is brought ashore.
