Nargilas on display, a photo from Akko, Northern

Photographer's Note

Nargila's on display in the Acre Arab-market.
(Acre in Hebrew pronounces as A-KKO).

From Wikipedia:
Nargila, also known as Hookah, is a single, or multi-stemmed instrument for heating or vaporizing and then smoking either tobacco, flavored tobacco (often Mu‘assel), sometimes cannabis, hashish, and in the past opium. The smoke is passed through a water basin—often glass-based—before inhalation.

Hello Ike,
I think I tried a nargila on my very first visit to the Middle East in 1970, but I found it was a habit I could do without. They look nicer than they taste. These ones are nicely designed and very bright and sure to attract customers' eyes.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Ike,

I saw a lot of these in Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and Morocco but not so many in Eilat or Jerusalem. They make a great repetition theme and the red white and blue colours predominating here go well together. Excellent sharpness and framing too. Tfs!

Hi Ike,

The tight frame is putting the nargilas in evidence. The point of view is showing the details of the colorful nargilas. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,

Lovely detailed image of the hookah, forbidden in Belgium in shops.
Colours and sharpness are pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Hello Ike,
A colourful row of nargilas. Some of them have funny tops. Like skulls on cigarette packs in some countries :)
I have a nice memory of Akko, a small but beautiful town. I believe the French call it Saint-Jean-d'Acre, a name given by crusaders, if I'm not mistaken.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ike,

I don't think I have ever seen such a display before! Although I'm no longer a fan of smoking, these nargilas are very attractive in their own right and by composing them in this colourful, tight crop, you have revealed their decorative qualities.
I'm just wondering if they could be used as beautiful candlesticks!

Have a lovely w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike, a colourful display of the Hookahs, every one is different. The tops are varied with some quite plain whilst others like the skull are unusual.
I have never really studied Hookahs before, so that makes your shot all the more interesting.
Very good presentation.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Ike.
A powerful image with these hookahs of such strong color, it is an object that I like, although I would not use it for smoking if not as decoration.
Optimal brightness management and superb sharpness.
Well done. My congratulations.
All the best and have a good start to the week.
Lewis.

Hi Ike,
nice repeated motif of a nargila. I have never heard this name for it, more a hookah. I think I had a chance to try it only once while living in California.
Very well seen and captured,
M

Hello Ike,
Very colorful nargiles (Turkish spelling). I wouldn't want to smoke one, but it would make a fine decoration in the living room.
Regards,
MT

Hello Ike,
A good photo of this collection of nargilas here. Their red and blue colours are very appealing and bright. Excellent sharpness as well.
