A different kind of market than we are used do here in the states, which are usually flowers, fruits and vegetable with spring plants, honey, meat and some crafts. Your photo brings to mind the wonderful markets of colourful spices I've seen in India.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a unique market to photography. Great addition to theme day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours and smells I'm sure. I could live on those apricots and dates!
ReplyDeletewhat a great display of the goods.
ReplyDeletehappy theme day!
Even I've heard of that market. And I also hear that it's quite easy to get lost in there! But I would still love to be able to experience it someday. I haven't seen so many nuts and dried fruits in just one shop. I find it fascinating. And I adore the pattern on the display stands!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous range of colours in your photograph. I wonder if each of those drums it totally full of the produce or if there is just a tray on top. That is a lot of produce to sell at one market!! Lovely contribution to the Theme Day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your fantastic comments.
