Sandy’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge topic this week is markets.
I love outdoor markets – we have a farmers’ market near us on Sundays which runs from June to October. Most of the farmers are from Michigan or southern Illinois. Of course, the items change with the seasons. This is a local farmers’ market in October.
It is fun and interesting to visit markets in other countries – both outdoor farmers’ markets and regular supermarkets. Following are market scenes I took on my recent travels.
Quebec City, Canada in October

Aswan spice market, Egypt, in January
Colorful stall
Rishon le Tsiyon, Israel – these photos were taken at an (indoor) supermarket, in January
Tel Aviv, Israel – another supermarket, in January
Vienna, Austria – we took a special tour to this large outdoor market, called Naschmarkt, which sold a lot of other things besides food! In July
Not all markets sell food…
Here is the Daraw animal market in Daraw, Egypt, in January.
Plenty of people watching too! 
The camel handlers tie up one of the camels’ legs so they won’t run away. 
They claim this does not hurt the camels. 
Not just animals are for sale. 
One needs other equipment for the animals. 
Back there is where slaughtered animals hung – I did not go near! 
The cattle looked emaciated. 
Wanderlust & Wonderment 
A fabulous selection of market scenes. The jackfruit in the Austrian market gave me a shock. I wouldn’t have expected to see that in Europe 🙂
A huge variety out there! I would end up spending the whole day in these…
I miss farmers markets!
Don’t you have them where you live?
