the garbage boat

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 22 July 2007 in People & Portraits.

Here you see the municipal garbage boat, collecting the carbage of sailing tourists left in garbage containers along the lake shores. The thing that stroke me was that the whole ship was being operated by one woman. I thought: is this womens' emancipation or a continuation of the traditional womens' role of cleaning up everything? I concluded it was neither: simply an officer doing her job, period.
