Hanging market scale in small Barcelona shop next to Mercat de l'Abaceria in Travessera de Gràcia. The open maize ears, those corn cobs decorated with their own husk as well as the sifters on the wall really grabbed my attention. I would say this was mostly a grain shop judging by the content although the onions would be really out of place.

I like both this and yesterdays photo. Nice colors and compositions.
ReplyDeleteThe color combo of yellow golden corn and green paneling is so aesthetic!

I read the title before I saw the photo and was taken by surprise. I expected to see an old-fashioned balance scale in this old-fashioned market. Time marches on, doesn't it?
