Mango Catcher

The man in the blue shorts is a professional mango catcher. He throws one up on the end of a long string into the high branches where he sees clusters of ripe fruit. He then jiggles the string to and fro along the branch to dislodge the fruit and then, as it falls, he catches most of it one handedly before it hits the ground. Passersby stop to inspect his harvest and buy as they wish!

PS
You can see he's just caught one with his outstretched right hand while still keeping his gaze skywards for the next! One has also dropped in front of him, which he couldn't get near, and you can also see the missile he launches skywards as well as the string attached.

PPS
After capturing this we sat (DD, H and I) and had a juice and hot buttered toast across the road.
