Commerce, Athens Style

Doing business in Athens

To the right is the Athens flea market.  This was one of two fruit vendors selling very tempting looking fruit.  

The other fruit vendor, perhaps ten feet away.  Graffiti adorns both carts.  

Carpet merchant.  Sit on one and don't think of elephants and they fly.  

Jewelry market.  This was one of several railroad flat shops -- deep and narrow shops with every inch of the walls absolutely covered with merchandise.  This one had dinosaur footprints showing the way in, or else a very large dog constantly left his marker here.   

Lisbon Food and Plants

Some of the food and plants that I came across in Lisbon. 

White wine at the dinner table. 

 
Look at all those vegetables.  And fruits.  Miratejo farmers market. 

Focus on the fruits with eggs in the background.  

The fish side of the market.  

Trees trees trees. Forest.

Still Life With Sourpuss or Lemon Scream

If a painting of dead vegetables, fruit and game is a "still life", is a picture of living fruit a "still death" photograph?



These two guys are still hanging on the tree. But I think they don't like it munch.



The two titles are a nod either to Edvard Munch or to Jerome Robbins. Ok. Tom Robbins.
