Women Laborers at a Construction Site




These pictures are a little fuzzy because I shot them on a maximum digital zoom. These women have been working on this site ( viewed from my hotel room) 6 days a week. No hard hats in sight. All this concrete is hand-poured by putting a load of concrete in a large shallow bowl. The women then position the bowls on top of their heads ( on a special hard hat with an additional rim on the top for the bowls). They then form a continual line to the site of the pour, going back and forth. Perhaps I'll find another site where I can show you this.
