The trees are a bit of a nuisance though if one does not pay too much attention they sort of blend in color-wise ,lol . You know Jan these folks were not posing voluntarily for me ( you may see a smile or two here ), in reality I was trying to compose the shot as discreetly as to not disturb them too much .It can become annoying to them having a tourist camera pointed at you , they have feelings , they have beliefs so i always make it a point in cases like this to let them know of my presence and not intrude in their routine at least not in the first minutes , i normally walk around a little checking the best opps and later on when everyone has seen me and are just not so interested in me anymore i pull out my camera from under my coat and when i am done with a particular scene i slip it back under until the next one.I may ask politely in some cases to take someone's photo , oftentimes it is refused , but with patience and if you buy something , a fruit f/ex it will rarely be a problem. Oh well, i like these markets ! Too much talking , he he i've got to go to sleep ,
