A man pushes a bicycle piled high with bananas in Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania

As I wandered through the dirt streets of the village of Mto wa Mbu at Lake Manyara, Tanzania, I spotted this man pushing his bicycle piled up high with bunches of bananas. In the midday sun, this must have been very hot and tiring work, but I guess you have to do what you have to do to make a living, and this guy obviously makes his living by selling bananas. As I took this photo, I wondered how far he had come and how much further he had to go to get to the market or where ever it was that he was going to sell these bananas. Either way, my hat goes off to him.
