Street Market


I've arrived back with a wonderful souvenir of my UK trip: a streaming head cold. I can't see, can't think, certainly can't taste anything but when I reviewed my photos this made me smile mainly because the paintings are so colourful but also because the one to the far right that you can't see (because I didn't take it) was really quite explicit albeit in a cartoonish style.

Street markets are very popular and most sectors of the towns and the villages have at least one a week. This seemed to be a mostly second hand book, paintings and photo market. Interesting to browse though it's too hot really to linger for long.

Now, you've got us all guessing.

These are so fun. They made me smile too. If I may.... the belly buttons are hilarious!

These are original! I have to admit I am also curious about the one you aren't showing, but I do admire your restraint!

I hope you are feeling much better soon!

If these what you can show it beggar's belief what you can't. This is one strange artist. What else would you expect as a momento from the UK but a cold.
