Fresh Food - Outdoor Marketplaces


There is something about an open-air marketplace that captures my attention. I love the vibrant food colors and the promise of wonderful flavors coupled with an organic nutritional punch.

In my blog post FOOD OF THE PEOPLE I showed a couple photos from Tashkent, Uzbekistan of an open-air marketplace. Even though the faces and names of people vary throughout the world the foods remain constant.

Whether it’s the red tarp covered market in Lugano, Switzerland


or the blue tarp covered market in Capri, Italy


I still find this open-air type of market most fascinating and attractive.  Here is a shot of the fruit section at that market on the island of Capri.



I hope these photos encourage you to seek out and frequent your local open-air markets for fresh vibrant foods.
