It must be very rewarding work. That's a very popular work fence over here too. :))

I haven't heard much of this band's music but I liked the song.

HFF to you, Roger! :)

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

This a project where local volunteers do the excavating under the supervision of an expert, sounds like a terrific community project to me, this is happening at various locations on the island,
I have enjoyed the rhythm aces music since the early 70s.
Thank you for the nice comments Karen

Don't see too many arch. dig shots on this site. I always wanted to be an archaeologist!
Good song choice too. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it aged 9.

Hi Roger

Very interesting picture!

I suppose if they keep digging they will have a very big hole..
Old Chinese proverb say "When in hole, stop digging!"

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend.

A well matched entry to 'Sight and Sound', Roger. Great to listen to the Amazing Rhythm Aces. Probably said it before but I did have at least one of their albums. Think I need to check out their music again on Amazon and iTunes.

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music
