Two boys work on a dredg­ing boat in the Danube Delta, Romania

Some boys work­ing on a dredg­ing boat in the Danube Delta, Roma­nia. Dredg­ing is highly dis­rup­tive of the frag­ile delta envi­ron­ment, but I love the time­less­ness of this photo — peo­ple have always worked on rivers, often start­ing very young. The boys could as eas­ily have been work­ing on the Mis­sis­sippi as on the Danube.
