Daily photos 3rd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Second year - Critiques welcome!

Chor Bazaar, located near Bhendi Bazaar in South Mumbai, is one of the largest flea markets in India. The word Chor means "thief" in Hindi-Urdu. The reason it is known as "thief's market", is because it assumed that goods sold there are stolen. There's a saying about this area, if you lose anything in Mumbai you can buy it back from the "chor bazaar"! Most of proper shops are closed on Friday as this area is in the heartland of one of the largest Muslim populations in Mumbai.<br />
<br />
Chor Bazar is a maze of streets with shops that look like musty attics and sell just about anything at bargain prices from old ship parts, grandfather clocks, gramophones, to crystal chandeliers and old English tea sets antiques at throwaway prices, including colonial-era lamps, Art Deco clocks and trinkets of every kind. It's not an easy job to shop here as one has to rummage through a lot of stuff, including junk and then set about bargaining.<br />

How intriguing. Looks like you can buy anything there. I also note a chicken and filthy moped.

Excellent portrait and interesting commentary. Hope you didn't lose and have to buy back any camera gear while you were there.
