Getting sorted Photo

Photographer’s Note

One by one, you lay them on the street - so many of them, but your patience is seemingly limitless. It's one of the daily chores, you say. And sort them out, those onions, you do, on such a hot Hanoi afternoon.

*****

This is a street scene captured just off Hanoi's Old Quarters. It was my most recent visit and my third within two years. Every visit offered me something new, as I deepened my insight of the quiet quotidian affairs amidst the interstices of this fascinating city. If you do visit Hanoi or have already done so, this sight would surely resonate with your experience.

Hi Kean,
Very nice daily life capture, really shows what life in rural setting is like. Not too sure about the blurred hands and arms but goes with the title and adds movement. I really like your POV, tells a very good story. TFS.
Cheers
Peter
