The head bobbing just above the surface of the water is a Mud Digger, whose job it is to dive to the bottom of the river, grab an arm full of mud, and put it in his boat. The boats hold two tons of mud, which takes one mud digger only 45 minutes to fill! I forget exactly what our guide told us they pay for a boat load of mud, but I seem to remember it was about 80 rupees (about two dollars, US). The land in Kerala is constantly sinking back into the river bed that it's built upon, so part of life there is shoring up dams and filling in the land that their houses are built upon.

This is my Grandfather's little brother. We call him Uncle Digger. He rocks.
Random Fact: We only see him about once a year, if that.
The "choreography" sees the diggers circle and weave past each other with split second precision, and only inches to spare.
The water mains blew at work. They've dug up the pavement and left huge piles of dirt everywhere.
I desperately want to go for a spin in one of these things!
I saw this digger shot of my idol Artie a while back. I was totally inspired by it. I got a chance to shoot a digger in punggol. This is the one ^^
==The Shot==
3 different exposures [-2EV, 0EV, +2EV] photos taken with Canon 10-22mm hand-helded
==Photomatix==
Tonemapped using detail enhancer option
==Photoshop==
-Increased (Yellow) for the vibrancy of the digger
-Increased (Red) for the ground
-Pen tool to cut out the digger hand
-Applied a small amount of unsharp mask
==Whatelse==
-View Huge On White to get digggg! :D ***Must DO!***

Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de SarapiquÃ. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.
Sphecidae, I believe. A large and beautifully colored species. ID help appreciated.
Found at the Arboleda (Holdridge Arboretum). When I first stumbled upon her, she was hauling a katydid back to her burrow. I didn't get a good shot of that but waited and got several shots as she was exiting her burrow.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
Sand digger wasp (Ammophila sabulosa) with paralysed caterpillar prey. Wisley Common, Surrey, UK.
This wasp seemed to have mislaid its burrow. It will have to be an especially wide one!
Taken at Diggerland in Kent. Soemthing very manly and butch with something very delicate and pretty lends to a kind of poetic shot.
Olympus digital camera The pigs that are made each year for the annual BBQ festival in Lexington NC. Each pig is hand painted by a artist or other person that has won the right to do so. They stand for one year all over town and then are auctioned off at the end of the festival with the new ones taking their place for one year. All money is donated to charities.

To the crowd the Diggers are unusual entertainment but others who watch rely on JCB machines for their living and for them the performance is a demonstration of the machines remarkable manoeuvrability, precision and power.
I wonder what the late Joseph Cyril Bamford (JCB) would have made of the display.
A Volvo Digger at the Industrial Park in Jordbro. There is a lot of construction work going on here. New businesses moving in all the time.
Can't find this one in the books at all! RSPB Minsmere
With further rummaging, I actually think now this is an Ornate Tailed Digger Wasp (one we see a few of anyway). She's just a bit worn, with the black marking less distinct than normal
