These school boys were walking from the school to their home .... they probably live on one of the farms in the vicinity.

They look a bit hot & bothered& ready for some tea but they have their jumpers on so not too hot.

I agree with Shirley! Nice capture.

Paula, all your photos have a distinctive reddish tone to them that I find very appealing. Do you do that on purpose in the editing stage or is all the earth in your area that color?
posted August 27th, 2012  
Serious looks on their faces! Must be exam time! Great candid photo!

Love this shot I also wonder if they talked to you afterwards.... they appear to be dressed in there uniforms for school....and eager to get home to get out of the school uniform.... such a dusty and telling photo... one appears to be saying hey what are you taking my picture for the others merely looking shy and curious
posted August 27th, 2012

Wonderful capture of group. FAV! DOF & comp are perfect!

Great street shot as all your candid pictures are. I guess they don't have the luxury of being picked up by a bus and brought back home too...our kids here are so spoiled.
