There I was, a-digging this hole
A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was

Nobila (18 ) grew up in a village in Jalgo, only 26km from the Djuga mines. He has been working here for three years. When he gets some money he always takes it home to his family.
They're digging a hole outside my place and making a din.
I liked how the sunlight highlighted them.
There is a sump pump emptying water from the pond-in-process. David has done all of the digging by hand. Here he is a couple of feet down.

I have decided to try action nature photography using a Diana F+. In this case a crab has just emerged from his tunnel to throw another bit of dirt on the pile.
I laid on the beach two weeks ago watching this guy for a long time. It was fun. He'd just surface throw out some sand and keep going deeper.
I only had the Diana so I took a long shot and tried to capture him.
Giant River Frog (Limnonectes leporinus) - Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
The male would use his powerful hindlegs in order to push the substrate around in the depression and he made quite a sizable one by the time he was done, several body lengths worth atleast. You can see the mosquitos in flight above him but as soon as he stopped digging they would settle back down.
The boys didn't understand why you dig with a paint brush and safety goggles, but they tried it out anyway.
This man is digging a hole for the emergency latrine that we want to install, it has to be at least four meters deep! It's amazing how hard these people worked and how fast the emergency latrines could be implemented!
A random snapshot of a few pieces of large and medium sized heavy machinery and equipment that is being used to dig out the center left-turning lanes within the center of Brookway Boulevard (MS 558) and replace it with a grassy median that divides the eastbound and westbound travel lanes in Brookhaven, MS.
They are basically extending the grassy median from I-55 over to a little bit past the Taco Bell and Walmart traffic lights. I don't really know if they are going to extend the grassy median beyond the Walmart and Taco Bell lights but the Boulevard is extra-wide out in front of Walmart towards I-55. The reason why this section of the road is extra wide was because there was originally a grassy median there before it was replaced by wide left-turn center lanes. It would be quite crazy if the more busier western half of Brookway Boulevard between I-55 and US 51 had a grassy median with a few turn around spots like its less busier eastern half with light poles within it.
While this project is underway and they are digging out the old left-turn lanes for the new grassy median, the left lanes in each direction will also be closed off to traffic, essentially turning the Boulevard into a very busy and heavily congested divided ''two-lane'' highway as most of the traffic from both Brookhaven and Lincoln County is concentrated onto that stretch of road to gain access to many of the big chain restaurants and Walmart.
When they get rid of that long, divided left-turning lane here at the intersection of Brookway Boulevard and Magee Drive as they will have it moved closer to the main eastbound lanes while replacing the old one with a new grassy median to divide the travel lanes, they will have to move or replace the traffic light signals here as there would be no need for the extra added signals here.
I don't really know if this is true but there's also the possibility of both the City and State's plans to install two roundabouts over at where the on and off ramps at I-55 to make it "easier" for traffic to get on and off of the interstate highway. The main problem with that is that most people around here can barely drive in a straight line on a nice sunny day much less knowing how to drive through a basic roundabout. I'm more surprised that the city didn't make that interchange into four-way stops as this small city is "addicted" to them being everywhere.
