I have always loved the Market. I have dreams about the place, with its myriad passageways, stairways, nooks, and portals.

Alas, it's sometimes hard to take good resolution photos there because the light levels are low, and I hate flash. So contrary to my usual anti-'Shop inclinations, I experimented with making these less "resolved" (like my dreams...and it also approximates what the world looks like without my specs). Robin says I'm turning into a painter.

For full impressionistic effect I recommend clicking for blowups.

P.S. This is my 101st post, whoopie!
