Tisza Autumn Sketches

The first signs of autumn are seen in a landscape along a river Some villagers are stacking a bed of stone blocks on the riverbank to avoid more eroding Others are occupied by ploughing fishing or repairing A small steamboat passes by In the engine room a stoker is shovelling coal into the oven Further down the river a small town is passed by the water A rowingteam is training for coming races Some biologists are looking at microbes from the water through a microscope A group of workers are painting a new barge and push it into the river When a small boy sees a racing boat he leaves his sandcastle and runs along the river
