Sysyphus in Long Beach

Sisyphus

I wish I had the time for a better exposure, but it was a passing moment. I saw this man pushing his burden up a long hot and hostile bridge in an industrial section of the Port of Long Beach. He immediately reminded me of the story of Sisyphus.

I’m betting this guy is pushing a load of cans he has harvested from other areas of the city. The long trek to the aluminum recycling yards will earn him $25 or so. It is a hard life.
