Vendor Ladles Pho in Kinshasa Market Dawn

by Patricia Yates

Steam rises in thick white plumes from a large copper stockpot as a vendor ladles golden broth into a bowl. The pot sits on a charcoal burner beside a wet fish counter displaying silver scales and gills. Rain-slicked concrete reflects the pale gray sky filtered through dramatic, heavy clouds. First light breaks through the mist, illuminating droplets on the vendor's apron and the glossy sheen on the fish. Wooden crates stacked nearby hold leafy greens, against the metal trays of the seafood stall. The steam drifts across the damp air, softening the edges of the crowded market space where figures in rain gear move in the background. One droplet of broth rests on the rim of the ladle before falling back into the pot.
