Market Day



Took a different route to the city yesterday and entered via Altstadtmarkt and it really was market day.

Yes. I went to the city on a Saturday. Even at around lunch-time the city was packed already.
There was no space to step backwards to take a proper pic of this:



The scene on Kohlmarkt reminded me of Perth a bit :-)





A woman was selling gas-filled balloons like on a fun fair:



Perth, btw, I went to Woolworth, yes, without the "s", not fresh and since 1897...



Right behind I again wondered, why this statue is behind "bars"...:



16C, cloudy. I really wish I could go to Woolworths!

When I lived in South Africa we had Woolworths, but they sold clothing and they just had a tiny area of gourmet food.
Strange that statue behind bars...
I like the chairs that invite people to relax in the city.

You won´t find gourmet food in this one - it´s all cheap stuff, but sometimes you find something nice, pics are to come some time.
The deck-chairs are sponsored by BS Energy, where we get our electricity from.

I've seem other statues "behind bars". Maybe to protect them?

But of what?

It's good to go into the city at the weekend now and then Iris, I do often, it's a different vibe at the weekend don't you think, people are more relaxed. So you have a Woolworth, minus the s :) also, wonder if its the same corporation?

Iris Flavia said...

Yes and no, Grace. Braunschweig isn´t Perth after all ;-)
It´s way smaller, I won´t say we have a vibe here...
It´s not the same, our Woolworth (it hurts to type without the s, kinda!) is a cheap chain with toys and clothes rather.
Actually you don´t want to be seen shopping there!
