Tuesday (and Friday) mornings see the flower and vegetable market in Burkliplatz open at around 6am - whatever the weather. Here are some people critical appraising their choice of blooms for the day

Hi Richard,
It's been a real pleasure to catch up with your latest bunch of photos, I'd been away for quite a while. I really enjoyed your shots of the Swiss Alps and seeing your kitchen (nice to get close and personal, very attractive bottle of wine). The variety and quality of your photos is wonderful. Would have liked to comment individually on many of them but no time now.
Thanks for your virtual visit to Avignon, enjoyed your humorous comment on the colours of your winter. Cheers!

Not a bad way to start your day...I miss the flower markets of Paris ;-(

Caught up with your latest photos - they have this intimate, elegant quality I've grown to expect from you. Always a pleasure to visit here.

All the best in the new year!

Geez, she sure is giving them the once over (and the second and third over).
What are those little fruity things bottom left?
And those people don't look like they are suffering the cold enough for this time of year.
Are you hiding indoors and posting old photos?

BTW - I'm posting again. Nothing politically incorrect, yet. Although, perhaps environmentally suspect.

It looks like being really cold! Maybe the b&w emphasises this impression?

Hi Richard !
"Whatever the weather" me fait penser aux gants que j'ai achetés, il y a bien longtemps, à ma fille... Je ne sais s'ils étaient parfaits pour faire des boules de neige cependant...
Il y a plusieurs marchés permanents aux fleurs à Paris, c'est toujours une merveille de s'y promener, surtout pour les odeurs un peu âcres des fleurs fraîches.
J'ai moi-même habité près du marché au fleur de la place Pietri à Rabat (Maroc) et nulle part n'en ai vu de plus bea, de mieux achalandé (fourni) en roses, tulipes etc...

Je suis toujours étonnée de la qualité de tes photos de nuit. Sans doute profites-tu de la lueur naissante du jour ? L'ombre englobe la scène de son épaisse couverture, ne laissant paraitre que l'étal, les trois protagonistes, le panier (?)
Choisir ses fleurs est une tâche sérieuse et ces jeunes femmes sont très sérieuses. L'homme attend, il semble assez peu éveillé et très frigorifié par contre...

I didn't know Scottish people followed cricket!
I thought you just tossed cabers and did highland flings and are you the people who chase the cheese down the hill?
Very er....... inventive you Scottish people.
So do you actually LIKE cricket?
I would be very excited if you do - I am a long-standing fan ever since the summers of the late 70's.
I was just a kid - a girl kid - but I loved it.
I still love it.
And I don't mind the argy bargy that is going on at the moment - it is all nonsense - but it invigorates the game.

Sorry this has nothing to do with your photo and everything to do with me - terribly self indulgent - please excuse.

Here there are flowers sold by/A man in a woolly hat/the light it's real good/ who would have ever have thought of that?/ And though it's night time/ and the lightbulbs are aglow/ In the foreground/ his frit is still on show.

I love the feel of/a photo black and white/But more especially/ when it's not day time but night/It's just the darkness/is a canvass doubly primed/from the whiteness/which makes the darkness underlined.

The girl is asking/ 'do you have something for me?/ Are you romantic. .. !/ You know on most things we'd agree/ It's late now, let's put your stall away/ you can always/sell your flowers another day .. ....
