渔夫，穆哈，也门，1964

曾经繁荣一时的也门穆哈通过出口种植在附近山区的咖啡而富甲一方。穆哈也成了这种饮料的同义词。在18世纪的种植者成功地在爪哇和新大陆种出咖啡豆后，穆哈随之衰落。如今，飞扬的沙尘弥漫了小镇，掩盖了港口。

英文注释：
Fisherman, Mocha, Yemen, 1964

Once-thriving Mocha, Yemen, grew rich exporting coffee, cultivated in the mountains nearby, and its name became synonymous with the drink. Decline set in when 18th-century planters successfully grew the bean in Java and the New World. Today blowing sand dusts the town and silts its harbor.
