![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 7851 W: 334 N: 11976]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (41686) | I have one or two more shots to post from Nungwi, but I thought I would mix the subjects up a bit.
We spent the last two days of our short stay on Unguja Island, Zanzibar, just outside Stone Town, Zanzibar’s capital and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stone Town is known for its narrow streets and Arabic architecture.
This is the meat section of the fruit and food market built in 1904 during the time of the British Protectorate. It was dark, noisy and smelly. There were very few women in the market, with men buying as well as selling: something to do with their Arabic culture, I think. If anyone knows about this I would be interested.
There is an alternative shot from the meat market and one from the fish market in the WS.
All shots taken hand-held with the 2 second timer set to reduce the camera shake

I just played a bit with the levels, to try to reduce the "haze" on top of the photo ; maybe will you find it too dark at the bottom ?
A fascinating photo anyway !
Hope that you like it... |
