Going to work?..., a photo from Luanda, North

Photographer's Note

Once again we are in Mussulo Islands, one of the paradisiac places in Angola by the coast of Luanda. On the background we see a bit of the island, full of tropical forest trees, and simple houses of local population. Although there's a big contrast between social levels that is not visible on this photo, but tomorrow i'll post another photo with a luxury house on the same island. It has lots of touristic resorts... Well, but what made me took this picture was this boat we can see full of big bins. I have no idea of what it is for... Perhaps fishing... Population is in generall very very very poor, and they have to fish a lot to have some food to survive...

Remembering the population which lived on Mussulo, there may be 2 explanations only :
- either it's a local fisherman bringing some goods for its family,
- or it's some employee of a wealthy owner of a villa on Mussulo which brings back some goods for the week-end's fiesta.

Really nice composition by the way ! Keep posting Humberto ! This wonderful forgotten country deserves some publicity !

Alli estube en el año 1994, pasamos la noche en mussulo, la isla es maravillosa, tan solo que a las 8 de la mañana las arenas de sus playas ardian por el sol. Lastima de las camaras digitales que por aquel entonces no existian.
Un saludo desde España para toda Angola
