In this picture a lady and her husband are doing work together by making

Mud Bricks in Hot Summer. I take this picture from one city of Pakistan.

Mostly in low lying areas or villages people are working like this to

collect some amount for their life and for survival.........................?

I like the composition and the light of this photo. The men molding bricks. You can see the simple manual process from mixing the earth to making individual earth balls and forming them in the standard mold with the stamp of the particular enterprise. The "green" bricks are dried in the hot sun before burning them in the artisanal kiln. In the background you see the childern of the workers who will very soon be involved in the process. It could be a hundred years old photo but I know, it is a recent shot.

Unfortunately in the processing of the photo you have lost some of the detail of the faces of the labours.

Kind regards. Karl
