Day 31 : Bananas for Sale



Caught this photo at a roadside fruit and veg stall. The bananas are hanging above the other wares and I managed to get the stall owner and a customer in the picture. The stall is in front of one of our favourite restaurants (perfectly steamed fish!) and we've bought fruits many times from here. The bananas are indeed very sweet and tasty. It was a good day for photos. I got many nice shots off. Just a shame about the drizzle. My poor Nikon was getting wet. I've already put my camera and lenses into the dry cabinet with the setting turned all the way up.

I also caught the image below.


This is a SOOC shot. I sometimes know when to leave things well alone. I had kept my camera away not wanting more water to get on it (it was drizzling) when I saw this man heft a pole with bags onto his shoulder and start walking. I knew I had to pull the camera out again or I'd regret it. He's going past a roadside stall and having a word in passing with the stall owner whose van that is. You can see some of the wares on the right of the stall. I don't really know how to describe it except its a type of folded chinese pancake with crushed peanuts and sugar, sometimes with corn. This is life in the small Chinese villages I suppose. I certainly don't see this in the big city. Above you can make out the Karak Highway which is famous for being haunted and claiming lives!
