bare chests- men only

I had this comment about why are the boys in polonnaruwa not wearing a shirt. Don'r they uffer from sun burn and at worse skin cancer. Well it seems that even when I am working during the day I take my shirt off to prevent the sweat wetting the shirt and in the evening is refreshing to get the wind on to your chest as shown in the photos below. I am sure Sudath, Gamini and Amila won't mind me using them as examples!!

Mark you when cutting paddy one wears a long sleeved shirt to prevent the hay from scraching and making the skin red with a rash.
