There's something about markets that is just inherently interesting. This shot is from the green market in Almaty. Originally, I thought that it was called the "green" market because that was where people went to buy their fruits and vegetables. In fact, you can buy pretty much anything here, and the building is painted green. A few minutes after taking this shot, we were told that the administration didn't want photos taken inside. One of my colleagues asked if there were "state secrets" in the market.
This second shot is just of a nice babushka (grandma) selling some jewelry near the main shopping district. With her umbrella, she was prepared to be there a long time.
