Description
"Farmers removing egg-shaped gravel stones from the channel bed during the dredging period. The stones are washed down from high mountains by swift currents." In foreground, a man and a boy wearing traditional Chinese clothing, turbans and aprons. The boy has a woven basket on his back. Rocks are piled at their feet. Several more baskets are visible behind them, and at least two more people in the distance. Mountains in background.
