Rice out to dry

Another rural scene today – rice spread out to dry.

Veggies at a rural market. Prominently featured is eggplant, one of the main foods used for Iftar, the meal for breaking the Ramadan fast each day. Due to Ramadan, eggplant prices are up to 80 taka a kilo in the city (about $1.15), but it is fresher in the countryside and costs about half as much.
