Orpailleurs

I was on my go for Wildlife photography, my camera mounted with my 400mm lens, heavy boots, etc, ready for a walk in jungle..
After a while walking among some creeks in the Jungle of Ivory Coast, I started to hear some voices.
I knew my quest of birds and other small mammals encounters was gone for good, but I decided to see what was going on, without compromising myself.
And this is how I have been lucky enough to witness this.. a family of orpailleurs (gold panning) working in the bed of the creek I was walking along.

    Life can be as simple as that - it's always worth a smile. 
    Is he dreaming of great happiness? 

    The moment of life was captured great. Ingenious the little one. As if the world could not do anything to him. 

    Beautiful play with the depth of field and the light is excellent.
