The Bar Fight

THE BAR FIGHT

In the dry season water becomes scarce which can cause the occasional fight over a spot in the river. Especially when you take up a reasonable amount of space… Katavi, Southern Tanzania

In a way, hoping for a lower vantage point but that’s not always possible. This is quite a fun interaction, Ingrid. It’s a little hard to tell but it looks like the mandible of the guy on the right is broken? Perhaps from a previous fight?

Love the style of communication … face to face !
Although top view reduces the impact, but the subjects convey the conflict in an effective manner !
PS. Ingrid - congrats on your new batch ‘Valued NPN Contributor’ !

Cheers !

@Adhika_Lie, @JRajput: thanks both for your appreciation! A lower vantage point was indeed not possible in this instance. There was a lot of fighting going on so there’s indeed a good chance that the damage to the guy on the right was done during one of those conflicts.

Grt, Ingrid.
