That looks exactly like where I used to live in Iran!  There was a bakery
making the same bread - cooked on hot pebbles and delicious.  And the jube -
open sewer - running through the village.  The wealthy people live at the
top of the jube and the poor people at the bottom.  It gets more polluted as
it goes along.  I have a photo somewhere of a woman brushing her teeth with
water from the jube.  Vegetable vendors would get scoops of water out of the
jube to sprinkle on the vegetables and make them look fresh.  I had to soak
all vegetables in disinfectant before we could eat them.

I'm enjoying your photos.  It's a small world!
