A small break in Sierra Leone. Some walks on the beach, roughly 25 kilometers East of Freetown and watching the fishermen repairing their nets.
It was nice to be on a break back then and see things through different eyes than as a development worker.

I was visiting Freetown to see my girlfriend Martine, who was at that time working over there.

Two of my other pictures on Sierra Leone:

Nice shot Denis. The movement in the hands conveys the deftness and speed at which the fisherman is working to repair his nets.

Hi Dennis,
Hope your enjoying your vacation. I like the close up on these hands. Shows movement, and a new tool for me. I love tools, and this device looks interesting. I'd love to actually see how they make/repair fishing nets. Not much of them around here unfortuantly.
Great shot.
-Brian
