MyPictureDay Submission | The Life Of an Old Man

in mypictureday •  6 years ago  (edited)

From a distance, I saw an old man walk slowly while pushing his old bicycle. At first, I just thought he would go home, but my guess was wrong. He walked to a small hut beside the creek.

When he reached his place, he put his old bicycle in a small park beside the river, then hurried to the little hut while carrying all the equipment he needed.

What is he doing on this riverbank?

As a man who has a strong conscience and instinct, surely we can not bear to see it. On the banks of this river he's looking for a bite of rice, by catching fish, then sold to people in the township, and all this is done to meet the needs of his life.

On the other hand, I salute, even proud of this old grandfather, He works, struggling to do this all without having to ask anyone else.

The place where this old grandfather used to sit was located in Nusa Village, Lhoknga Aceh. You will find this old grandfather, if to this place around 06:00 to 08:00 PM.

Here are some pictures I took, and hope you guys like them.

It is really sad. The world needs more solidarity
Great post from you
Thanks for sharing

We always say life is beautiful. But for some of the people like this old guy, it is really struggling. Really salute to this old fellow for all the hard work. Thanks for sharing such good post.

Thanks @dindar, This kind of behavior as a whole usually lasts from childhood, plus a sense of self-responsibility that forces oneself to struggle.

speechless.....

Why does nobody ever say "speechmore" lol

Thanks @thusitha, it took a deep reflection to understand this kind of parent.

This was a pleasure to read, made my heart smile to see someone take notice of another. Huge Smiles!

Nice your history

I like the writing of your article is very interesting people to comment on your article

That is huge amazing photos and story.The photos themselves runs great...I just have Xiomi camera. The old man /Teungku wa shows something strange...I means looks like the old man has Ma'rifah and syari'ah knowledge.

Verygood photo

He who knows how to be poor knows everything. Poverty is good in terms of poems, maxims and sermons, but very bad for practical life.
I was captivated by your post

Thanks so much @funtraveller, @photocircle, This scene is very common in rural areas, especially in Aceh. All caused by various factors in life, poverty, and so forth.
