These guys were hauling rocks on their head one by one from one place to another, all day. It could have been done in an hour with a truck, but no. It was good to see men doing this work, though: usually you see women doing this kind of work, while the men just spend the money on country liquor and beat them (just joking?). I bought these guys some drinks and took photos of them.

Some were more reluctant than others.

Here's how the whole grand enterprise works: They put a cloth on the guys head, then a rock.

Then another rock.

Off he goes. I wonder how they determine who will be the loader and who the lumper? Seniority?
