This photograph shows three children standing in a shallow stream surrounded by tall green ferns and thin brown branches. The person on the left is the closest to us. They have straight, dark, shoulder-length hair, and they face the right, their head bent slightly forward. The middle person is in a similar pose, and they have curly blonde hair pulled into a low ponytail. The person on the right is the tallest, and their head is raised. They have straight blonde hair and hold a tall yellow stick topped with thin fibers coming from the top. All three children have pale skin and wear light-blue short-sleeved shirts and knee-length dark-blue skirts. They are barefoot, standing on the rocky riverbed with their feet in the shallow water. Plumes of pale fibers that look like pampas grass extend from their backs, giving the appearance of wings.
