FISHERMEN IN MYANMAR BALANCE ON ONE LEG
Fishermen in Myanmar have perfected an unusual fishing technique by carefully balancing on one leg. Sailing in the middle of a freshwater lake, the fishermen keep both hands free by perching on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the boat’s oar. Photographer David Lazar visited Inle Lake in the Taunggyi District of Shan State, Myanmar, also known as Burma, where the distinctive fishermen are a regular fixture.
