Vendor Pours Olive Oil in Winter Market

Tin containers and clear glass bottles cluster under a heavy canvas canopy in Washington DC. A vendor tilts a large tin, sending a thick stream of golden olive oil into waiting vessels below. Winter rain beads on the metal surfaces, catching the low morning light that skims sideways across the wet textures. The scene is dense with activity, as stacks of produce and other goods fill the periphery. Water droplets slide down the sides of the bottles, merging with the oil streams. at the edge shows one drop of oil clinging to the rim of a glass neck before falling.
