A hot Sunday at the Athens flea market.
Wandering aimlessly.
Nothing else to do than taking pictures.
Going with the flow...
an einem heissen sonntag
auf dem athener flohmarkt.
nichts anderes zu tun, als fotografieren.
sich “unter die leute mischen”
nichts weiter...
Da wären sicher auch ein paar Schnäppchen für mich dabei...:-)

Thank you for stopping by!
Was für ein toller Flohmarkt....da hab ich so einige Dinge entdeckt die mir sehr gefallen würden, abgesehen von den "Kleidern".
ReplyDeleteDas nette Lächeln des Mannes gefällt mir übrigens auch sehr gut. Schaut so richtig schön in deine Kamera.
...und auch wennste mir lange Zähne gemacht hast, danke für den kleinen Eindruck und liebe Grüße
I m waiting for the weather to cool off a bit more and will start visiting the place myself again Monica.

ReplyDeleteNice pics .. as always :)

Γειά σου, Μόνικα !
Something for everyone, and a photographer to record the treasures and the treasure seekers.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Monika.
with my brother we used to take the train to Monastiraki (not a very long trip-we lived only a few stations away). We sat in coffee shops with our frappes and then walked around the area, along with many tourists and all sorts of people, who became more and more as the day went on.
ReplyDeleteOne could find everything there. Clothes, shoes, jewelry, handbags, furniture, new stuff and used stuff.
In Abyssinia square, every Sunday, the flea market (since 1910). And this was my highlight.
Old Willow pattern plates, tableware, boxes, small round tables, rocking chairs, cutlery, pictures, books. Delightful!
We've never been collectors. We enjoyed just looking at these fine, rare or really old artifacts and sometimes buy a few small things, if we found something we liked. We enjoyed the atmosphere around us. It smelled souvlaki from the various eateries and cinnamon from the bakery at the corner. It smelled of jasmine and lemons from neighborhood's pots, usually located next to entrances or on windowsills.
Aroma that mingled with the mild mildew odor and dust,from "other people's trash" ( as we call used objects here in Norway...) .
There were colors, tourists with sandals and socks, in that heat! and a kind of confidence that this chaotic context managed, in a strange way, to provide one.
Thank you my friend : )
Nice place for photographers.....and you have made good pictures Monika
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop

ReplyDeleteΠόσα χρόνια έχω να κατέβω εκεί κάτω! Μου άναψες την όρεξη!

ReplyDeleteMonika I'd LOVE to stroll through your market with you, it would be an amazing way to spend a day! Excellent captures, makes me want to take in a market!
ReplyDeleteI do not mind wondering the whole day here with my camera!
ReplyDeleteφανταστική βόλτα.Και τι ωραίες λήψεις που έκανες.Είναι όλοι τόσο φυσιολογικοί-))))
ReplyDeleteκάποια στιγμή,γιατί θέλει δυνατή ψυχολογία,θέλω να ζωγραφίσω έναν ζητιάνο.Αν έχεις κάτι στην γκαλερί σου,εδώ είμαι εγώ-)))
πολλά φιλιά και καλή συνέχεια-)))
Υ.Γ.μήπως να μεγάλωνες ΄λιγάκι τα γράμματα,γιατί δε βλέπω καλά,και ντρέπομαι ακόμα να ψάχνω για γυαλιά..χαχαααααααααα
Αν πατήσεις"Ctrl" και "+" (ταυτόχρονα) τα γράμματα θα μεγαλώσουν ...αυτομάτως μόνα τους! Αν πατήσεις "-" θα μικρύνουν. 'Οσο πατάς "+" θα μεγαλώνουν περισσότερο κι όσο πατάς "-" θα μικραίνουν περισσότερο. Αυτό ισχύει για όλες τις σελίδες στο ιντερνετ.
DeletePiace anche a me passeggiare per i mercatini, ci sono cose che si possono vedere solo li!! un abbraccio...ciao

ReplyDeleteI love getting lost in flea markets. I'm a junk collector.
ReplyDeleteI really like this place, but i do not think i will buy any !
ReplyDeleteHallo Monika,
ReplyDeleteich denke mal, du bist über 'Hongkong / Wong Ching Wah' auf meinen Blog aufmerksam geworden. Und neugierig wie du eben bist - das zeigt mir die Liste der Blogs, die du mit einer ausgeprägten Sammelleidenschaft verfolgst - hast du nun auch bei mir vorbeigeschaut und (d)einen Kommentar hinterlassen. Merci beaucoup. Kommunikationstechnisch scheinst du dich ja in mindestens drei Sprachen zu Hause zu fühlen, aber Deutsch scheint doch deine Muttersprache zu sein, wie mir die zahlreichen Kommentare unter deinen Posts verraten. Du hast ja bereits auf meiner "Wohnzimmercouch namens you-wee's groupies" Platz genommen. Welcome and enjoy. Einen Espresso oder einen griechischen Mokka vielleicht...?
Gruß aus dem frühherbstlichen Deutschland,
Uwe.
Good work makes a difference.
ReplyDeletephotos are special. It is a
to visit this blog.
what a great place for photography!
