At the village of Bomba, a father and son join the tourists at the market for a break. Marketing is not lost, even in the rural villages, as seen in the sign for the Silver Fox Guest House in nearby Maskall Village.

A fisherman I met along the Northern River. He builds his own boats, each of which lasts about 8-10 years. He claimed to be 70, and anticipated building one more boat in his lifetime. While he maintains the same lifestyle and practices the same techniques as his ancestors, a Coke was a welcome refreshment. The most interesting aspect of this shot to me is the halo effect around the man. Nothing else in the shot has that blur, including the boat. It speaks to the fact that he is so adept on the water, he was able to move in the boat without moving the boat on the water.
