Scenes from the

Arras

Saturday Market

in France.

I am constantly reminded of this market because

I purchased a pendant for MGW to wear to work.

It must have received the tick of approval

as it is still a regular.

 

Nectarines and strawberries…two of my favourites.

Fruit.

One of the crop from our first peach tree harvest

All sorts of fruit…

…at the Arras (France)

Saturday market.

Oranges packed for sale

in Melbourne.

Home  grown lemons and…

 

…and our first crop of cherries..

…from our miniature cherry tree.

We often hear of time machines which

are designed to transport us back

or forward in time. 

These machines only exist in our minds,

novels and movies such as the

Back to the Future series.

Yet all round are…

…time measuring machines

Big ones on Bell Towers…

…much smaller versions to hag on a kitchen wall…

…and finally, Melbourne’s famous landmark

The Flinders Street Station clocks.

Let’s meet under the clocks

was an oft used phrase of

Melbournians and visitors alike.

A few decades ago the analogue clock faces

were going to be replaced by their digital cousins.

This caused much discontent in Melbourne

that a compromise was reached.

These analog faces are now digitally powered.

sweet

having the pleasant taste characteristic of
sugar or honey; not salt, sour, or bitter.

Place des Héros,

Arras,

France.

When I captured these images…

 

 

…my mouth watered.

Three years on and my sweet tooth

is activated just the same.

While in Arras (France) in 2017…

…I happened across its Saturday market.

I’m not sure if all products for sale could be

declared as farmers produce…

…so therefore not certain…

 

…if it was a Farmer’s Market.

 

However, it is…

~~~~~

the only market which I have photos of and… 

 

  …therefore, the only market which

 comes close to fitting this challenge.

line

a long, narrow mark or band.

~~~~~

When I think of a line it is

usually a straight line…

…as at the Heath Cemetery on France’s WW I,

Western Front Battlefields.

However this depiction of the Hindenburg Line

is anything but straight.

As is this Le Hamel trench.

Some lines have long sweeping bends in them.

Even the Australian Memorial

at Le Hamel has a bend in it.
