Farmers selling their fresh produce, warmed by the late afternoon light, along the road out of Dili, the capital, towards the district of Liquiçá (Tetun: Likisá).
Liquiçá, Timor-Leste — Being in a young country like Timor-Leste feels so new it’s like being in a big field of grass and watching, watching. For what, nobody can quite say.

The adventure continues.
