Photos of the Day: Kusama, an Edo Rice Market, Red Sea Yoga, Cargo Ships, and Market Fruit
Five images, pulled at random out of the feed today. No theme, no plan, just whatever the dice landed on.

First up, an old ukiyo-e print of a rice market in Edo. Half the fun of these is you can never quite tell who's buying and who's selling, everyone's just standing around in gorgeous robes doing business.

Jump forward a few centuries, and sideways to Tel Aviv, for a shot from the Kusama retrospective at the museum there. Been meaning to go back through that whole batch of photos for a while now.

Different pace entirely: yoga on the beach, Red Sea in the background.

Then straight back into cargo territory: a container ship and a stat that's stuck with me, maritime transport was responsible for something like 13.5 percent of Europe's total greenhouse gas emissions in 2018.

And to close it out, mangoes and melons stacked up at a market stall. Nothing deep here. Just fruit.
