Lemongrass Vendor at Thonburi Market Twilight

Cool blue twilight washes over a bustling market stall in Thonburi, where a vendor arranges tall bundles of fresh lemongrass. The stalks, varying in pale green and creamy white, stand upright in a shallow basin of water beside a gleaming fish counter. Raindrops bead on the waxy leaves and slick the corrugated metal roof above. The vendor's hands, wrapped in a patterned cloth, press down the stalks with practiced precision. Wet pavement reflects the faint glow of a nearby neon sign, casting soft blue highlights on the plastic crates stacked nearby. One bundle rests slightly askew on the edge of the display, its root end dripping water onto the tiled floor.
