This picture was taken on a foggy morning when vendors were taking bananas down to the nearest market that is about 10 kilometers away. Many of the plentiful fruits available in my village are taken down to markets to sell, so the roads are always full of cyclists with bulging loads of bananas and pineapples zipping up and down the rocky road!“
