Melon Vendors in Bukhara

Caption

Vendors in every Central Asian bazaar sell a diverse array of melons. These two women in the Bukhara bazaar are selling a variety akin to the famous Hami melons of Xinjiang. There is a great deal of regional pride associated with specific varieties of landrace melons.
