  • Market day in Goro, Ethiopia where women bring grain to sell and farmers bring cattle and other livestock. The cattle market is very busy with sellers and buyers mingling side by side with the animals. <br />
<br />
The grain may be ground into flower or may be used as seed for the next season's crop. They pour the grain to show it off and to further winnow and clean it to make it more valuable. Some were selling corn and chickpeas, but many were selling the typically Ethiopian grain called teff. <br />
<br />
Some choose to sell their grain directly to a broker or middleman rather that sit all afternoon in the hot sun. They can be seen with their bags of grain on a scale, waiting anxiously to see what price they will get for it.

  • Hawa Yesuf cooks injera over a traditional oven built for the purpose in her house in the Fontanina area near Kombulcha, Ethiopia. <br />
<br />
Injera is a yeast-risen flat bread with a unique, slightly spongy texture. It is traditionally made out of teff flour. It is traditionally eaten in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The batter is usually mixed several days in advance and allowed to "ferment", using the residual yeasts in the storage bucket to add leavening. <br />
<br />
Cooking is fast, with the batter being poured on in a circular motion from the outside spiraling inwards. The a cover is put over it allowing the rising steam to contribute to the cooking. In only a couple of minutes the bread is done and gently slid onto a mat to transfer to a basket for cooling. Many of the injera are cooked at one time and stored for several days consumption. <br />
<br />
Stews, spices, meats and vegetables are served on the injera, which serves to absorb the juices. Pieces are used to pick up the food, so that the injera serves as untensil, and tablecloth, all of which is eaten.

  • Threshing rice in a field in Bali. This woman is doing second harvest, trying to get the last of the rice from the bundles that have already been threshed by the women in the background. This is essentially charity gleaning, and she can take home (for free) up to 7kg of the rice. About one big bowl, which might feed her for a couple of days.

  • Beltane Fire Festival on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Event has been going on for years and has grown ever larger, now boasting over 300 performers and 10,000 to 15,000 spectators.  For many in the festival it is a sacred event, welcoming spring. The central figure is the May Queen who marches from station to station to receive the admirations of Earth, Air, Fire, etc.  Her "White Women" are tempted by Red Men.  Eventually the foliage of last year is stripped from her escort whom she then brings back to life.   Blue men act as security and crowd control, whipping those who will not obey.  Columns are a landmark of Calton Hill.
