23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Floating Market
I captured the five-day floating market of Inle Lake, Myanmar, in the quiet early morning before sunrise. Local people paddle their small boats to buy and sell vegetables and other farm products, creating a moving marketplace on the water. This vibrant trading tradition reflects the unique ways communities connect farmers’ goods to consumers within the agriculture value chain.
