The lantern seller
An elderly Vietnamese woman sits on a bridge to sell floating lanterns with lit candles inside to tourists in Hoi An, Vietnam. The ancient city of Hoi An is a popular tourist destination and at night along the riverfront people crowd round for boat trips and to buy and float lucky candle lanterns. Most of the people selling the cheap lanterns are very elderly women trying to earn a little money.
