Merchants open their stalls in day and night. I take this photo on Monday at 9.21 pm. Their nigt stalls are even busier than at noon. The lamps in stalls are so beautiful. These are good objects for photography.

The sellers begin opening their stalls in afternoon. Their stalls are simple, cheap wood wagons. They occupy pedestal along the road in front of Jakarta government's market building. Of course they disturb pedestrians who can not walk in pedestal. Only government's officials can push them back to market building. But it is useless. The sellers will be back tomorrow.

Night stalls in Palmerah generally sell fresh fruits and vegetables. Peasants from various villages come here to sell their crops. Merchants will buy and sell them again in other markets.

Housewive buy fruits and vegetables for cooking at home. They come in simple cloths. Sometimes they just wear house dress.

Pasar Palmerah tak pernah tidur,

Gerai para pedagang buka siang dan malam. Foto ini saya ambil pada hari Senin pukul 21.10. Dan, gerai mereka bahkan lebih ramai dari siang hari. Gerai-gerai dengan lampu menyala yang cantik ketika dipotret.

Bila sore tiba, para pedagang membuka gerainya, berupa gerobak dorong, di pinggir jalan. Mereka menduduki trotoar. Hal ini tentu akan mengganggu pejalan kaki. Tapi, pasar adalah wilayah kekuasaan mereka. Hanya Satpol PP yang bisa menggusur mereka dari trotoar. Tapi, itu tak ada gunanya karena mereka akan kembali lagi esoknya.

Gerai malam di Palmerah umumnya berisi buah dan sayur. Sebagian besar masih segar. Para petani dari berbagai penjuru membawa hasil bumi mereka ke sini. Sejumlah orang akan membelinya untuk dijual lagi. Adapun ibu-ibu akan membeli untuk bahan masakan di rumah. Ibu-ibu itu berbelanja dengan pakaian ala kadarnya. Kadang hanya memakai daster.
