Aug 90 - Fishing in Lake Titicaca, Island of the Sun (Titicaca island), Bolivia
Just before I took this, the net was in the water and shortly before it was hauled out, a group of boys and men (in the background in this shot) who were standing in the water in something of a line, all ran at the net together to chase the fish further into the net.
It's common knowledge I guess that this is the world's highest navigable lake, 3800 m.s above sea-level.
- Something to puzzle over: "New analysis of the language and gesture of the Aymara indicates they have a concept of time opposite to all the world's studied cultures, so that the past is ahead of them and the future behind. ... Appearing in the current issue of the journal Cognitive Science, the study is coauthored, with Berkeley linguistics professor Eve Sweetser, by Rafael Nunez, associate professor of cognitive science and director of the Embodied Cognition Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego."
