Not the supermarket

I visited this rural market in the pouring rain, with often ankle deep mud (which sucked ..pun...), to take this image of the locals, mostly women, selling their wares and eating their breakfasts under jury rigged shelters. Very few smles on a day like this! Sure made me appreciate my local supermarket more, where all I have to worry about is finding a parking spot or being run down by a shopping cart. Taken along the Sa Pa to Lai Cai road in northern Vietnam. At larger sizes you can see the long streaks of rain.

    Wow, you are a real trooper. I'd have probably done the same, but walking in all that mud would suck. :-) Great shot!
