I was wandering around the old flea market of Athens, Greece in the area of the old town known as Monastiraki. This is said to be the oldest continually run flea market in the world. Antiques to junk...everything in between, even found a seller with dozens and dozens of old lenses, mostly Soviet era like Helios, Zenit, etc..I go there almost each week as it is only about a 10 minute walk from my home in Plaka. Here is a shot from one of the many many sellers...just a bit of Greek flavor.

interesting curios... i think this pic might benefit from cropping some of the top out... it takes away from the focus on the items in the bottom of the photo... might be interesting in b+w...
nice to see something different, thanks for sharing..

Thanks for sharing - looks like an Van Gough original in the background - better go back and snap it up!

BTW - what are those three things in the bottom right corner?

No idea what those are (bottom right)...I was going to go back over to the flea market area yesterday, but a cold, windy and rainy day prevented me from venturing out.

I was going to ask if they were flip flops for people with three toes (A la - Arabian Nights).

Perhaps some kind of ancient cigar holders?
