The images here are of a market in Shiraz in Iran. I took these in 2009. I didn't have a camera with me so borrowed a colleague's spare camera. The market is quite large and seems to sell items manufactured locally, rather than mass-produced and brought in.

The market was quite large, then I found a square in the middle of it with more legs of the market leaving it.

Inside the market, it was always bright and shiny. This is how markets would have looked for hundreds of years I would think. Maybe slightly less bright without electricity for lighting.
