Indian Bazaar

Local bazaars never cease to fascinate ...
(Scenes caught on my lens at a market in Gangtok, Sikkim)
Linking up to Mosaic Monday at the Little Red House, and The Creative Exchange.
To a colorful week ahead!

The fresh produce, the crowds, the noise - it's a sensory overload!

I'd really like to know(if you don't mind) where you clicked these pictures.

I enjoy seeing outdoor markets like that - thanks for sharing. Reminds me - I need to make a trip to the farmers' market before they close for the season.

I agree that local Indian markets are much like a sensory overload. It's the colour and the amazing variety that makes me wonder of the beauty of a local market. Interesting use of grey :) .

Wow, the market provided perfect photo opportunities! My favorite is the center shot of the woman and her bags of food. Love the composition and color. Wonderful!

Danke folks! Outdoor markets are a treat indeed.. the noise, the fragrance and stench at times, crowds, loads of color! And ample opportunities for photographers, if you're comfortable elbowing your way through :)
