Karl Schuler 48 Posted February 24, 2006 In this "kitchen" the jus of sugar cane is boiled until the water is evaporated. What remains is a thick yellowish liquid, which forms a solid crust while cooling down. The raw sugar is sold in the market in the form of brown-white-golden hand fitting chunks. It is used for sweetening food and drinks. Karl Link to comment
dbarnes 0 Posted February 24, 2006 I like this. The steam rising to the light gives a lovely, mysterious atmosphere. The almost silhoutted figure stirring the vat is in a natural pose, and the other people add interest and things to look at. Nice work. Link to comment

daily_photograph 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Not far away from my "kitchen" I like it - of course. The "moment-charakter" too. Spontaneously I felt the (grade of) "absence" of the man in the background disturbing .. Link to comment
sarahunderhill 1 Posted February 28, 2006 !!! Love it. Karl, where are you from? Were you traveling around Pakistan by yourself? Link to comment
Karl Schuler 48 Posted February 28, 2006 Sarah, thanks for your comments. My roots are in Switzerland, currently I am in Pakistan and part of my heart is still in Nepal. Rarely I travel alone. Karl Link to comment

Bilal Zaheer 0 Posted March 14, 2006 Another outstanding shot Karl. You make it look better than we've seen in real life. Link to comment
salvatore.mele 1 Posted March 15, 2006 Karl, I raved a lot on the first of these Gor pictures, and this is also beautiful. I cannot helpo comparing them, since the other is your favourite picture of mines. I've them side by side as I write, and I cannot decide which I like best. I guess there is some more "life" in the other one, mostly because of the man standing to the right, here. Conversely, the way the ceiling light and the smoke make a single aethereal presence throughout the frame, here, is marvelous. Link to comment
beamoflight 0 Posted June 18, 2006 Excellent shot. I very much like the whole atmosphere in this picture. The compostion is very well balanced, with the man leaning out of the doorway adding something special and a connection to the outside world. Link to comment
