The Colors of Food


We went to Muğla yesterday and although we where not there for buying veggie's, I took pictures of them because of the gorgeous colors and mixture. The picture above is of some poor villagers who do not have much to sell but try to earn some little extra with the goods they produced in their little garden.



The richer sellers have more to offer and also sell dried peppers, aubergine and gumbo's, a pleasure for the eyes. When these are cheaper people dry them for the expensive winter period, after they are dried you can use them for months and months.


If you look closely at the picture here under you will discover an evil eye between the dried goods :)


Hope you came by with a full stomach...

  1. Yeah turkish markets are nice to look but, sorry to say this they are not so nice to eat as they use quite amount of hormones :(

    Espeacially these "richer" sellers who just want to sell a lot not caring how they grow their veggies and fruits.

    Got to love small & homemade in this case too :)
