Description:
A group of men standing in a river, with others standing in a dug-out canoe nearby, clearing floating islands of vegetation (sudd) from the river, pushing it to one side. It is possible that they are building up a pool for trapping fish, a mainly dry season activity during residence at cattle camps, such as on the Sobat River.
