A photograph taken through a vehicle windshield of a roadside fruit cart on a dirt path beside green shrubs and palm trees. A seated vendor in a checked shirt and khaki trousers sits on a blue plastic stool, handling yellow fruit stacked on a cart draped with a blue, green and white cloth. A brown umbrella printed with yellow fruit shades the cart. Behind it stand a brick house and a blue-green wall, and a parked bicycle sits at the right edge. The image is the photo kind and shows no ritual activity.
