Mysore's Magical Market - Part One

O.K. Well I hesitate somewhat because if I say it myself.  These pictures. THESE pictures.  I haven't looked at them for maybe a year. And they don't disappoint.  In fact I've discovered ones that I didn't think were such a big deal when I first took them.  But NOW!  !!!!!!!!  The people are so open.  And so happy in their holiday errands and anticipation of their big holiday.

I can't take alot of responsibility for the beauty in these pictures.  This is just a beautiful space.  The otherworldly color created in part by the blue tarps hanging over the stalls.

It filters the light and gives you the most perfect exposure that articulates and caresses at once.

It allows you little details and perfect rich colors.

And look at the vegetables, so tiny and sweet.  My husband asked someone why Indian food tastes SO GOOD in India. The answer:  because the vegetables are so fresh.  They don't come from far away.  They are harvested nearby and because water is so precious they are not allowed to grow into monsters.   They are little so all the flavor is concentrated in  them.  And they are delicate.

Now, I'm not exaggerating, am I, when I say, YOU MUST GO TO MYSORE!!!!!!!???????

Come back tomorrow for Mysore's Magical Market - Part Two.  And then after that, I'll just hang up my blog clogs cause nothing again will beat these pictures!  Hope you like 'em.
