The ‘Mercado do Pescador’ (Fish Market) in the historical center of Paraty (RJ, #Brazil). With high tide the sea water floods the streets and reflects the colorful colonial style buildings.
The name "Paraty" means "river of fish" in the Tupi language, spoken by the native Guaianás Indians which populated the region. The Portuguese who colonized the region took over the name for their town.
Paraty is located on the Costa Verde (Green Coast), a stripe of Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) that runs along the coast line south of Rio de Janeiro. The historic center of Paraty and several areas of the atlantic rainforest were inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019.

A white building with two light blue to turquoise closed doors is seen during nighttime enlightened by two lamps in the corners. The building is reflected by the water that has filled the street in front and to the side.

Fish market, Busan, Fall 2023.

There’s really no way that I could describe the energy of this fish market in Busan and do it justice. It was an energy that I wasn’t able to experience anywhere else in South Korea. It was the only place where nothing was lost in translation.

Regardless of the language barrier between me and the locals, I understood everything happening around me—from the casual conversations that I overheard, to the bartering and eventual transaction between fishmonger and customer. There was no language needed to come to an understanding and I cherished every moment of it.
