Men at work

As it was a private property, I could not get any closer to watch the thatchers.

[Casablanca]

Great framing!

[winghong_ho]

Beautiful shot and great composition.

[Brian]

Well spotted and captured

[Susan Wakely]

Such a great capture of these men hard at work.

[Peter]

Lovely image full of colour and detail Diana, you still see thatched buildings in the UK :)

[John]

Excellent composition!

[Dione Giorgio]

Great shot and composition. My guess is that thatching is a long process requiring a lot of patience.

[katy]

I like the perspective you have chosen for this one and the composition

[Mags]

Great in action capture.

[Corinne C]

Wonderfully composed and so fascinating

[Helge E. Storheim]

Interesting and great framing of the workers

[Paul J]

Nice capture! That would have been interesting to watch.

[John Falconer]

You’ve still captured this hive of activity.

[Peter Dulis]

lovely capture

[Renee Salamon]

They really do look so concentrated - lovely composition

[Merrelyn]

It would have been interesting to watch them at work.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Great pov

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool candid capture.

[Bucktree]

Nice candid of the men at work.

[Valerie Chesney]

Super capture of these men concentrating on their work!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I love the feeling of peeking at them in this

[Michelle]

Lovely capture

[Desi]

Great men at work shot. I believe re-thatching needs to be done approximately every decade?

[Margaret Brown]

Super work capture, thatching is a real art!

[Olwynne]

Great candid shot

[Cordiander]

Great pic.

[Judith Johnson]

A very colourful scene, it tells the story!

[Rob Z]

Love your composition...

[Carole Sandford]

You did pretty well though! I really like this!

[Bobbi C]

That is so cool to see. No thatched roofs in Indiana!

[Heather]

Your capture worked really well, Diana! I like how the thatchers are framed by the beams and support of the roof and tucked behind the green fronds! Fav!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- there is an art to this! And I would imagine it is an unusual occupation too- not many people know how to do it. Good shot!

[Maggiemae]

Goodness, it looks a lot of work. It must be a good roofing having been around for centuries! Nice clear picture!

[Paula Fontanini]

What a fascinating image and just the thought of thatched roofs is so unusual...not something we see around here!! :) Well captured in spite of the limitation!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wonderful capture!

[Jerzy]

What a great job these guys do with thatched roofs. Great capture of the work.

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Shutterbug]

Love the captures. I’m always fascinated by these roofs.

[Bill]

Such an interesting process.

@seacreature The roofs last between 20-60 years only Desi, expensive roofs ;-)

[Chris Cook]

Close enough. I just love a thatched roof. Not something you see where I live.

[Beverley]

Great shot!!
