Description
„Im Flusstal. In der Regenzeit ist er kaum passierbar und jetzt völlig ausgetrocknet“ („In the river valley. During the rainy season you can barely pass the river and now it has completely run dry”). Two European men and an European adolescent are sitting on three big blocks in the riverbed, one of the men is Fritz Bock.
