LONDON BOROUGH MARKET BY ANNE HOODLESS

These lovely snaps are submitted from Anne Hoodless during a recent visit to the Borough Market in London.  Sorry for the late posting!

"It was a lovely sunny day, although it did rain now and again.  I was tempted to have a wee glass of the rose prosecco, but didn't, it did look nice though."

 

INDIAN MARKETS BY AMANDA PRIEST

These beautiful photographs are submitted by a newbie to Art Club, Amanda Priest.  Thanks Amanda!

 

"These are some photos from my trip to India.  The first images were taken when we were shopping for textiles.  I went to India with a group of textile artists so we did a lot of this.  You would get invited into a shop or stall, often a decked out shipping container and you would be given a cup of chai and then shown hundreds of different textiles from pashminas to doona covers, saris, antique pieces (that were pretty amazing) and so on, after about half an hour the entire thing is a blur, hence the photos!

The second ones were taken at a roadside camel market, these pop up around the place as you are driving along. I was in Rajasthan somewhere on the road when I took these.

The third one I took in a market also, a large group of women walked by and they looked so beautiful and colourful in their sari's that I had to snap a shot. The blur is probably a good example of what visiting a market anywhere in India feels like! It truly is an incredible place, I loved it."

 

DUBAI SOUKS BY GILLIAN NIX

Hello lovely people.  Here are a few photographs that I am submitting for this month's market theme. 

 

I took these images last Easter from the Dubai markets, or 'souks' as they are called in the Middle East.  I love how market traders display their goods and whatever market I go to I like to look at how things are placed and displayed.  On this particular visit to Dubai I was really getting a kick out of photographing things that were lined up.  Now, over a year and a half since living in the Middle East these images are bringing back lots of memories of smells, sounds, haggling and sights!  I wish I had bought more!

 

In my opinion one of the best things to do in Dubai is to visit the old part of the city and wander through the various souks.  There is the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk on one side of the river, then once you are done there, you can catch a little motorised float to the other side and wander around the other souks, which sell everything and anything (it might be called the Textiles Souk, but I suppose you could call it the 'everything else souk').

 

Hope you like them x

 

 

 

 

MARKET RICE BY JIM SAMON

This photograph submission is from the person who chose this month's theme, Jim Samon.  Thanks Jim!

 

I took this photo in the market at Baucau, Timor Leste about a month ago.

The rice, corn and beans are a contrast not only with the types food available compared to supermarkets in Australia but also the simple way that food has to be presented for sale.

The market was busy but the sellers in the stalls sat patiently waiting for a sale.
