Hello Nathalie. Young girls on their way to the water. Truly a beautiful and lively photo, - from the world of everyday work. Everything looks very graceful. Well seen and presented. Rgds, Wolfgang.

Allô Nathalie!
Un beau retour avec cette magnifique photo de la vie quotidienne la-bas. Très intéressant tous ces jeunes transporteurs d'eau. J'ai déjà essayé mais rien à faire. Belle présentation et merveilleuse harmonie de couleurs.
Bravo!... et bonne fin de semaine,
Emilius

Hi Nathalie
Cette belle photo me rappelle le documentaire que j'ai vu hier, sur l'accès à l'eau potable dans le monde! En voila un bon exemple, ces enfants devront sans doute parcourir des kilomètres avant d'arriver à un point d'eau...

Hello Nathalie,
It is not an easy task to collect water far away from the village, but these children certainly provide a colourful picture with great human touch. It is also well composed in three layers with good balance between the brown road and the green background.
Regards,
Gert

Salut Nathalie.
Trés belle photo à la diagonale colorée.
Tu as capté une trés belle scène de vie , hélas quotidienne pour ces gens là.
Bravo.

Bonsoir Nathalie,
This image is a marvelous documentation of Africa's shortage of water, and those kids who carry the preciouse buckets from distance - just to have what we normally and casually do to have water: open a tap.
Supeb colors of their cloths, contrast to the hard barren land, some are barefoot.
Impressive, cheers.
Ike

Hello Nathalie,
this picture has a wonderful sense of movement, lovely vivid colours and a lot for us to think about: hardship, wellbeing, solidarity, life. A very well composed and lit photo with superb sharpness. Thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hello Nathalie,
Carrying water there is certainly a collaborative effort, really a super photo, not for our youth to imagine!

Salut Nathalie
Une très belle photo de la vie quotidienne de ces enfants burkinabé qui n'ont pas de robinet et doivent allez chercher de l'eau au puits parfois très loin de chez eux.
