Great candid shot , John. Always so freshly available in China.

Lovely shot, showing both the weathered vendor & his customer. When we were kids we used to enjoy chewing on cane, natures candy :-).

Wonderful street shot. Excellent, I'm really enjoying it.

There's nothing photographic that I enjoy more than a slice, as it were, of real life. This is particularly good for being unassuming and of the moment - a slice of time. Well executed too. In Viet Nam the word for sugar cane is mia, sold on the street in bite sized pieces. The kids and I love it.

This couldn't be more opposite than artificial sweetener. Quite the treat John - pun intended.

both, you can stick the cane into a juicer, or you can just chew on the stick. I don't know about using it for cooking.

or is turned into juice like they do out here? I think i have a couple of juicemaker shots let me look and I will put em up on Sunday /or so.

Interesting shot John - do you just chomp on the pieces or can you use the sugar cane in cooking? Good "decisive moment"!

Food comes in all shapes and forms. Very nice...

Wonderful capture, John! Very natural "slice of life" (pun intended) in this area of the world, no doubt.

I have a smaller one for peeling potatoes. The guy strips the outside off the sugar cane first. You can see the bark lying behind the bike. Thanks for the comments John and jp.

Maybe it was when she saw him and scurried over. Many thing there are tons of decisive moments. I think you got a good one here in anticipation of the cutting. Thanks for expanding the "food boundary" conditions in my mind.
