Rice and Fish
(Two photos: rice and smoked fish for sale in the Aertembaga Market in Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.) I was impressed the number of superficially identical varieties of rice for sale. There were also a number of stands selling fish; One had a pile of different fish piled on a newspaper-covered table.
Diving is Fun
HDR image of a dive boat pulled up on the beach. A sign facing outward beneath the boat’s awning read “Diving is Fun with Siladen Resort and Spa.” In morning and evening the glossy paint on that boat picked up the sun and seemed almost to glow. The neat beach, colorful ocean, boats moored nearby, and the volcanic island Manado Tua in the background just made the scene more appealing.
Pool With a View

Grocery Shopping
Candid photos from Aertembaga Market, in Bitung (North Sulawesi, Indonesia): A visit to the Aertembaga Market in Bitung is not to be missed. A young man in one stand dared Nancy to take his elder’s photo; the old man was diffident … until Nancy showed him the photo. Then everyone lit up, all smiles.
Fish for Dinner
(Photos from the fish market at Bitung.) The fish market in Bitung (on the Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia) comes to life just after dawn. Fishermen, cooks, staff from local hotels and resorts along the Lembeh Strait, and ordinary husbands and housewives come together in a boisterous throng in the large open-air market facility next to the waters of the Lembeh Strait.
