This week's Thematic Photographic theme is 'Shopping'.
When I saw it I went, "Oh no!!" I hate shopping. Food - can't be bothered;
clothes - ditto. Malls? Yikes!
Then I looked through the albums, and found lots of photos I could post. In fact, I'm going to have to post several batches ;).
Here's the first lot: shopping, Turkish style.

| This made me laugh so much - fake watch sellers at Ephesus |
Hey, at least they're honest: genuine fake watches. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not a big fan of shopping either. Except for the kind you'll see when I finally get my "shopping" photo's posted.
ReplyDeleteGreat set, very vibrant shopping scenes. Loved the fake watches, reminded me of the wallet I bought once stamped with "Genuine Imitation Leather".
Wonderful! I was struck by the number of advertising posters too. You’ve given me an idea.
ReplyDeleterather different from our supermarkets!
ReplyDeleteNow I could do that shopping adventure too...simply marvelous! Those signs are really something too! Whatever it takes to get the people out to market right!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a shopper either, but when shopping is in the context of a new cultural experience, then it become interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like tons of fun. Seems like you could spend all day there.
ReplyDeleteDid they get the idea for malls from the Istanbul bazaar? Magic carpets!
ReplyDeleteLove the carpets! And genuine fake watches made me smile.
ReplyDeleteLove all the carpets - and the Grand Bazaar looks like a very interesting place!
ReplyDeleteGenuine fakes...I almost fell off my chair when that one came into view! I love how you capture the very texture of a place. These aren't just pictures. I feel like I'm there.
