In the afternoon, it becomes routine to return to their respective homes by oyster seekers who all day immerse themselves in one of the rivers in my city.
The average oyster seeker is a middle-aged mother who makes the activity of looking for oysters one of the livelihoods to support their family's economy.
Soak themselves in water for hours just to get oyster shells which they take home and collect the contents when they get home, then sell them at a number of small stalls with prices ranging from IDR 5,000 to IDR 15,000 rupiah.
Today I had the opportunity to take some pictures of them heading home to return home with burlap filled with oysters on their heads. I made it an entry for today's post and hope you enjoy it.
