    Not too heavy a burden one hopes? The adverts (?) at the side of the road are interesting.

      He is carrying dead, and by now dry, coconut leaves. They make excellent kindling wood, I believe, and are more unwieldy than heavy.
      The advertisements look to be posters for Malayalam movies!

    I like the way you caught him as he passed through the shadow of the tree.

      As always, more matter of luck than judgement! It was only when downloading the picture that I noticed those interesting patterns of palm tree shadows..
