Global Eye: Fruit in the Philippines

fruit.jpgPhotographer: Jo Anne D. Villarosa, of California, USA and the Philippines

Getting the Shot: This photo was taken in the Philippines, at the entrance of Muñoz Market in Quezon City, the most populous city in the Philippines.

The Details: I was on my way to catch a bus early in the morning, and I chanced upon the girl sleeping by her fruit stall. Public markets open very early all around the country. Vendors like this girl wake up before the sun to prepare their goods: fresh produce, various items of clothing, or plastic toys and trinkets. Seeing the girl sleeping so peacefully, unbothered by the long and hot day ahead, was a very beautiful scene for me--and a much deserved rest for her.

The Camera: Canon EOS 400D.

We Love: How she looks so peaceful amidst all of the colorful fruit!
