Roasted Vegetables - #32
I've shown you a little of Deira's fish market, now here is a character from Ras Al Khor's fruit and veg market. Ras Al Khor is at the top end of the Creek and is generally known for 2 things - the used car market and the fruit and veg market.
Once again, the market is a covered, yet open air affair. This, as you may guess, means the temperature in the summer is simply insane. The roof is corrugated aluminum....
This guy and all of his colleagues were working so hard in this heat. They hand pull big carts / wheelbarrows around the market. Each customer gets a man with a barrow to help.
This guy's face tells a million tales... and not one of them involves the word blooop or the discussion of world invasion.

I read the good news on a comment you left somewhere about the UAE unblocking Flickr! You should be very pleased. Excellent photo as well (and as usual!).

He looks remarkably happy to be working in such conditions. His features exude friendliness.
Thank you! Your photos are great, captions evocative. I am SO home-sick for the Gulf region, and although I actually lived in Doha and only visited Dubai a few times, it reminds me .... enjoy your time there, and I will enjoy it vicariously! Thanks again.

Lovely portrait. But do you have to buy a barrow-full of fruit and veg, or can you throw the car in, too?
