Wood Saleswoman Near Inle Lake, Myanmar

I was exploring Myanmar during the monsoon season near Inle Lake. I came upon this woman resting near the ancient Buddha statue. She carries wood one stack at a time to the open market. She is over eighty years old and makes less than $5USD a day for six to eight hours hard work.
