Country of Contrast

There is the farmer with his horse and wagon...

The collective farmer with his modern equipment digging sugar beets...


(which they lay in long rows in the field waiting for a truck)

And the little Babuskas selling their garden produce along the streets.

As you can see this lady is selling apples and eggs.

So interesting to see how different things are.

They don't seem to have much to sell. Can they earn enough to make a living? Do they just bring a little bit everyday?

I'm not sure, but I think it's a hard and cold way to make money.

Maybe you could drive a truck for them. You use to do that in the sugar beets.
