Marbles Serious Sport

Watched and photographed 3 children playing marbles today on the Kong Toey slum train tracks (Taung Rot Fai, in Thai), 2 young boys and 1 older girl. Serious business marble playing is! After a few minutes they completely forgot about me as they intensely battled it out in the dirt and rocks between the tracks, to the winner the shiny marble!

A dog with no hair (only soft pink/brown skin) and some kind of growth on his head watched us all warily from a distance.
