Morning Steam Rising Over Tea Baskets in at a floating market boat in Kemang, Jakarta

Morning Steam Rising Over Tea Baskets

by Pauline Bates

Thick white steam drifts upward from woven bamboo baskets stacked on a wooden boat deck in Kemang. Sidelight skims across the rough, tan surfaces of the baskets, highlighting the interlaced reed textures and casting long, soft shadows into the crevices. The cool season air holds a haze of cooking smoke that mingles with the rising vapor, softening the edges of the scene. Stacks of tea containers sit beside open trays of goods, creating a dense arrangement of commerce. The wooden planks of the boat show wear from water and time, at the base of the activity in a specific, tactile reality. A curl of steam rests on the rim of a foreground basket before dissolving into the dim morning light.
