One more of a remote place that you had visited more than 20 years ago, gert, something I am not sure so easy to tour freely nowadays.
Your description and the vivid picture are marvelous jurnalist work posted. Men only, but a vivid scene.

Amitiés.

Hello Gert, such a busy market place,we cannot even see the ground!
I love the variety of items for sale, such a mixture! Vaseline,jars of food, flip flops......
A fabulous documentary shot with excellent sharp focus.Great scanning, with no details lost.
Regards Jean.

Bonjour Gert,

Une très belle photo tirée de tes archives de l'année 1981. Une très bonne numérisation d'image sur un très beau sujet qu'est le marché dans les pays du Maghreb. Intéressant de voir que tout se passe au niveau du sol.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Gert,
I've always heard the name Tamanrasset. Never Tamanghasset. Is this how it is pronounced?
This street market offers a wide variety of products. A colourful shot full of local flavor. I guess now they will be selling smartphones and tablets.
An intriguing ocher building on the background.
Here nobody seems to notice your presence.
Excellent clarity and sharpness.
In what place did you arrive after the trip of four days?
Best regards, Paul

Hej Gert,
Crossing Sahara, sounds like quite an adventure. And being on the last outpost before the vast desert is special. Busy place where people seem to exchange various, not so luxury goods.
I like the texture of the background wall.

Hello Gert, Big jump in space and time again. And you know how I am jealous about this ride with a truck :). (In Cuba there are strange means of transportation I wonder if it will be possible to try to go by something different hat the buses for tourists). And what a fantastic scene from the market, I see here all locals although from different nationalities. interesting what they have there.

Warm regards Malgo

Hello, Gert, Perhaps it is one of my favorite reporter photos today here. Just impressive composition, fine DoF, excellent details! As I said I like this kind of pictures, this is just a market story with a lot of different characters.
Best wishes from snowy Ural! You are right we also have real winter. Serghei

Nicou (193806) 2016-01-20 6:12

Nicou

Dear Gert,

As far as I see you could have bought there everything you ever needed. :) The image is well composed drawing my eyes from the bottom to the top and stopping it by the million tiny details.
Excellent work.

Best Regards,
Gy.

Hello Gert,
Thanks for another great oldie. It's interesting to see the variety of items for sale. Some of them I can recognize, like the jars of Vaseline. I wonder what's in some of the other jars, like the yellow-orange substance. It looks like jelly, but it's probably something else. :-) Lots of great colors and details in this one.

Hej Gert,
Ett stort myller här också men en snyggt komponerad bild. En halvcirkel med män från bakgrunden och upp mot dig, på vänsterkanten med att rött skynke som central blickpunkt. Vad är det i burkarna med rött lock?
Hälsningar
Gunnar

Hello Gert.
Fantastic and very interesting picture, with all this gallery of characters, you can make a study of the remarkable differences between them, almost do not know who are the buyers and sellers who, but if we can recreate the view that the quantity of the items illustrated.
Very good brightness and sharpness, with beautiful colors.
Well seen and done better. I like it
Have a nice day.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Hi Gert!
I've always heard that Algeria is a very nice country, pity that it's not so safe! This is an old one and so interesting. Seems they had lots of things to sell in the market, I'm not sure about how different they are now. They all seem to dress differently but they look very interested in the goods there. Good quality shot!

ChrisJ (171194) 2016-01-21 22:53

Hello Gert,

A superb daily life scene. Also a fine historic moment from the archives of 1981! Tamanrasset is certainly a cosmopolitan melting pot of merchants and traders from all over Africa. Tfs!

macjake (98262) 2016-01-22 23:25

Hi Gert
another interesting blast from the past.
so what exactly do you do in these African cities?
I only ask that because I would imagine its very non-touristy.
I doubt they have hop on and hop off buses lol.
you would be solely on your own to find things to investigate and to see.

as often is the case, we rarely see women in these types of shots - i wonder why its that way. culture i suppose.
perhaps the men don't ALLOW the women/wives to do such bargaining.

interesting to view all the items and i like the crowded nature of the scene, its real and rough
cheers
Craig

batalay (41261) 2016-01-24 11:36

Hello Gert,

Kodachrome slides, masterfully scanned, allow you to present images as if they were shot with a good digital camera now, instead of with an analogue camera 35 years ago. The Tuareg (top) is concentrating on the products available as are all the others in the busy market scene. But I don't see any curved daggers and scimitars he might be interested in.

Regards,

Bulent

Periko (9105) 2016-01-25 22:38

Hi Gert
This photo looks like a digital one. Excellent quality, bright colors, balanced exposure and fine sharpness.
The vertical framing allows to appreciate many details and different faces and clothes.
Good work, as usual.

Regards
Pedro

Hej Gert,
Kul att se en gammal bild från Algeriet! Marknader är verkligen tacksamma att fotografera, och intressanta. Här kan vi se både varor, miljöer och människor av olika de slag i samma bild. I det här tillfället så förmodar jag att det var människorna som lockade dig att ta den här bilden, vad de säljer är iallafall för mig svårt att se. Fina färger och ett varmt behaglig ljus, snyggt!

Hälsningar/
Boa

ps. Hur är det att resa till Alger nu tror du? Jag har en del bonuspoäng som jag borde ta ut snart och Alger i April kanske kan vara nåt?
