Seen at the morning market in Nyaung Shwe.
The market is daily there but only one day a week many more people come there and offer there goods.
There are many markets around Inle lake and there is a rotationg system.

A great daily life shot, Andreas. The 'search the cat' game is nice, but my favourite part of the picture is the cheroot!
Also: thanks to this lady for reminding me of your wonderful Myanmar gallary. Great work on one of my favourite destinations!

Oh fein, Fisch, weg mit der Katze, Pfoten weg. Wir wollten Fisch essen gehen, aber mein Vater hat Schiss gekriegt mit dem vielen Schnee, jetzt hocke ich da fast ohne Futter, aber zum Glueck hat es noch Spaghetti und Olivenoel. Dieser kleine Stand, so huebsch, wie der Fisch daliegt auf dem Bananenblatt, sie weiss wie verkaufen, keine Frage. Man isst ja bekanntlich mit den Augen. Der Fisch hat einen schoenen Glanz, ein gutes Zeichen fuer frischen Fisch. Was fuer eine nette Idee, Karfreitag, Burma, Fisch ... so wie wir es moegen auf TE ... weltverbunden, ohne die eigenen Traditionen zu vergessen. Mit Gruss aus dem Toggenburg ... im Schneetreiben.

Haha, Leo, so there IS a cat there after all... I'd say it's a funny one, also thx to ur title... The daily life scene is attractive, I esp. like the colors, and those bags on the sides... cheers, Daniel

Hi Leo,
ich komme kaum nach. In der Woche fehlt mir die Energie, kommentare zu schreiben. Schöne Aufnahme. Ich habe ähnliche Szenen in Bali gesehen und frage mich immer wieder, ob die Leute sich nichts holen, wenn sie den Fisch essen, der über Stunden ungekühlt lagert. In Bali sammeln die Menschen auch angeschwemmte Fische, die dann am Strand verenden. Sie sammeln sie in Plastiktüten und abens gibt es eine Mahlzeit, die ihnen nichts kostet.

Im November wirst du also wieder nach Myanmar reisen?! Ich plane den Oktober für Bali. Manchmal finde ich es etwas schade, weil ich so vieles nicht kenne in Asien. Aber wenn ich entscheiden muss, zieht es mich wieder nach Bali.

Die Geschichte mit den Stiften, die du gekauft hast und den Lehrern zum verteilen gegeben hast, hat mir sehr gefallen.

Schöne Festtage.
Gruss, Nino.

Hi, Leo. I've found the cat, he's a clever one ;o). The fish look great on the palm leaves and the woman in her bright garments contrasts well with the display. A nice daily life scene.

Hi leo
Beautiful scene of daily life.
I found the cat, but I didn't find the flies on the fishes !!! I'm joking !!!
Very good shot of daily life, very well composed.
Good job Leo !

The person’s infinite looking and holding the cigarette conveys a king of sadness or dream about a better life. Or, is it because I know what is going on in Burma? For the cat, was he having breakfast?!!! Your picture is excellent with good colours and a great POV. Well done.
Antonio

Bonjour Andreas,
Beautiful composition with these fishes silvered on the leaves of banana tree (?).
A very attractive almost uniform grey bottom which contrast sharply with the colors of baskets and jacket of this woman.
Congratulations,
Have a nice day
Diane

Merline (6574) 2008-03-23 11:44

How lovely this is, how full of life, a great catch:-))) of daily life. Great colors, simplicity and very good result. Nice touch of humour, and I did find the cat:-). Well done, Andreas.

TFS

robiuk (10763) 2008-03-23 15:08

LOL - someone certainly knows how to get close and stay
unnoticed!
Beautiful scene with a local fishmonger doing her trade
on the street - even from the distance one can tell
that the fish is the freshest one can get!
I suppose these are banana leaves underneath the fish?

Ah ha, I see it :-)
Perfect title for this shot. Nice and simple composition, works great, well balanced.

Hallo Andreas. Ein Bild wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Es wirkt vor allem auch farblich sehr gut. Wirklich excellent.... Und beim Betrachten entdeckt man schließlich auch noch das Hinterteil eines Hundes unter dem Geflecht. Hervorragend. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Mingalaba Leo
I was in Nyaung Shwe last week and your photo send me back there ;D You have framed well this daily life scene with the woman smoking the cheeroot while waiting for the customers. All the elements are well placed and exposed. I like the color tonalities too.
Cheers
Marilyn

saxo042 (15592) 2008-04-03 12:14

Hi Andreas,
Very harmonic colours here, the bluish-pink against the green leaves (banana?) is very attractive. What kinds of fish are those?

xuaxo (5713) 2008-04-05 10:19

Hallo Andreas,
You know I like very much this kind of pictures.
This one is very clear, good POV, beautiful soft colours mixed with stronger ones.
Have a nice weekend,
F

scalerman (25731) 2008-08-10 13:43

andreas: your Burmese gallery is easily my favorite - your really brought back a plethora of images from that venture - so many are good - it's interesting to view the less popular of this fine series. regards, c
