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.
