Tisza: Autumn Sketches
A riverside landscape shows the first signs of autumn. Some villagers are putting a bed of stone blocks on the riverbank to stop more erosion. Others are busy plowing, fishing, or fixing. A small steamboat passes. A stoker is shoveling coal into the oven in the engine room. As the river flows on, it passes by a small town. A crew of rowers is getting ready for races. Through a microscope, some biologists are looking at tiny organisms in the water. A group of people are painting a new barge and pushing it into the river. When a small boy sees a race boat, he leaves his sandcastle and runs along the river.
