Description
This photograph depicts vendors selling fruit and and fruit drinks at Masaya Volcano National Park in Nicaragua.When I visited we were required to wear hard hats and were not allowed to climb the peak shown in the background of this photograph due to safety issues. The smell of sulfur was overwhelming and I thought it so strange to see the availability of fruit in such a toxic environment. My heart hurts for the people who must put their health at risk to earn a living. There have been several eruptions in recent years with the last one being in 2016. The National Park is located in Masaya, Nicaragua which is 20 km south of Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. A filter has been added to this photograph.
