Tirmis vendor at the Cairo Bazaar

I live in Dublin, Ohio, and Cairo Egypt (the Mid-West and the Mid-East). This is a man I see often when I am in Cairo.

    The colour, the expression and the surrounding really makes this shot a winner

    The man is a lupini bean vendor (Tirmis in Arabic), which are sold in paper cones. The cylindrical objects are the stacked paper cones.
