Schoolboys

These young men were singing while walking through this central marketplace; you can barely see their teacher behind them.

There were several re-creations of traditional schools in Saudi Arabia (although I doubt they still exist in that form any more), and this was part of one of those exhibitions.

What a terrific image. What were the wheels for, I wonder? V

Possibly some sort of measuring devices? I've seen similar "machines" used by lawn services to measure area.

Excellent captured. I am not so sure that the man behind the left shoulders really think that their voices are that good. Oh maybe, he is thinking, kid's!!! Well done. V.

Like Jim,wonder how they manage to "walk their wheels"...reminds me of children bowling hoops.Wondered if there was any significance in them wearing the same headgear.None seem self conscious but quite serious while singing.A great street shot,Helen.V
