My Yesterday. We went to the street market, and I brought along the camera in hopes of finding a photo for Photo Friday's "Loud" theme... →[More:]

It was loud! Noisy and colorful and crowded (despite it being cold, grey and rainy out). I used my patented sloppyshot method - didn't even stop walking as I snapped the pix, which I decided would give it a nice candid, casual feeling. Mostly it just means they are blurry.

So, altogether, here was my loud Friday:

Lovely! If I lived in the vicinity I'd probably spend 80% of my income at the olive guy's booth. Looks so yummy! - And I love the olive oil in re-used water bottles.

Pot comes in terra cotta these days? Back in the oldern days, we just used baggies.

Yum. I want olives and vegetables now. That looks lovely, taz!

I was practically barred from one of my local Turkish grocers for my continual blagging of olives, tasting them all before I decided. I could get through, ooh, almost half a pound with no problem, just tasting.

Oh, those are fantastic, taz! (And yes, I'm craving olives now.)

I really enjoyed these, taz! And now I am craving spring, not for its warmth but for the farmers' markets.

dumbass question, but did you do the "frames" in photoshop, or is that a setting on your camera? either way, looks awesome (as do the pics).

I did it photoshop, desjardins!

What a cool tour - looks like a lot of fun, and those olives do look fantastic.
