## Caption

Morning broke slowly in places like this.
Not with silence — but with carts, boots, voices, steam, rain.

Markets weren’t just for food.
They were the pulse of the street.
A place to be seen, to wait, to trade, to endure.

Everything passed through here.
Money. Hunger. Hope.
And sometimes, if you were lucky, a smile.

(More intimate faces soon.)
