After writing about Elif Shafak's novel The Bastard of Istanbul earlier today, I looked over some of my photos of the extremely vivid food stalls in the spice market of Istanbul.

These pictures are amazing. I also liked your book review.
There's nothing more indicative of the spirit of a culture than its food markets!
Thanks, Jen. The book is really worth reading.
