    Title: Rich Flavours Caption:Indonesian food is of the most flavourful I’ve ever experienced, spice being a main component. While this woman sold more than chili peppers, it depicts how vibrant the flavours, and symbolically the colours of each item are. This photo also demonstrates a different physical set up for selling her goods.

This woman offered a variety of types of fish and filleted the fish right in front of your eyes. by: ellbehindthelens Views[898] Title: Indonesian Woman Caption: A local Indonesian woman separating and preparing red chili peppers to be sold in the daily market. Chili peppers are a key ingredient in most traditional Indonesian dishes. by: ellbehindthelens Views[447]
