harvesting palm sugar
this one was my favourite, and unfortunately the pic doesn't do it justice. i was in the market, this old lady zooms up to one of the fish stalls on a moped with her apron and (you can just see them) bright orange rubber boots, and unstraps a bag from her back. she dumps the bag, which has in it three big, still very much alive tilapia in it into the metal bowl (which was immediately covered by the net that the lady with the dark blue apron is holding, so they didn't escape, except one did anyway and had to be scooped off the floor where it was making a pretty convincing getaway attempt) and then the first lady hopped back onto her moped and zoomed off.
