The father and his kid

This photograph showcases a father holding his child’s hand under the Bizerte Bridge in Tunisia during sunset, while a fisherman appears in the background. The long shadows cast by the setting sun capture the bond between the father and child, a representation of guidance passed from one generation to the next. As they walk together, the fisherman in the distance adds a layer of continuity, symbolizing the enduring presence of tradition and work across time.
