Since the "A" image turns out to be bogus, here's the "B" image for today. I thought the guy was a hoot, and it turns out his little baskets are even better:
An elderly Kashmiri man sells "kangari" (firepot) in Srinagar India, Friday, Dec.10, 2004. Kangari, an earthenware brazier containing burning charcoal, is used for personal warming during the winter months by most of the people in Kashmir valley. Kangari is usually held close to the lower abdomen or in between the legs while squatting on the ground.
Kind of warms the cockles, doesn't it?
