Being a bin man is a thankless job. Early rises, the smell, bin juice, the smell - it's tough, but necessary to keep any town running.

Three bin men in Bogota, Colombia were recently spotted taking a break from lifting refuse sacks to relax on some swings.

Bogota isn't known as the most peaceful city in the world, but the photo captures a nice moment of urban serenity.

Locals don't seem to begrudge the workers their break, with one commenting: "I think that it speaks of the joy that is found in any place."
