Marigot 3

Today will be the last of the photos I took in Marigot. I did take a few from the bus as we left the city but will share them at a later date.

The photos shows a wall mural that illustrates the culture of the French half of St. Maarten. I took a few more photos of the flea market as we returned to the bus and I couldn't resist making a few images of the harbour while waiting for the last of the tour group to arrive. There were quite a few pleasure craft moored just offshore and I wondered who owned them - probably not the average citizens of the city.

Because our time in the French capital of Marigot was limited to 45 minutes, we decided to leave the flea market and explore the nearby main street. As I stated in my introduction to this series, I am sharing the photographs in the order they were taken. However, I did take several photos from the bus as we travelled around the island, but am keeping those until later. You will understand why when I share them.

As we were leaving, the strong smell of spices caught my attention and I made a photograph of some of them. I would have liked to include more of the spices in the image but it was under a canopy and there were harsh shadows. As well, there were a few people there and it was difficult to shoot around them.

When I saw the green and yellow shop with bananas and other fruit for sale, I took the time to photograph it as well. The colourful image is one of my favourite of the day.

It was pretty early in the day and it seemed like the bars and restaurants were just opening - they weren't very busy at all. I liked the image of one person talking to the bartender with no one else around.

Marigot is the French Capital of St. Maarten and was the next stop of our tour of this beautiful Caribbean island. We stopped near the flea market and restaurants for 45 minutes, which wasn't a lot of time. Today's images were taken just as we got off the bus and we started to walk around.

The lady in the first photo was pointing out some souvenirs for a potential customer and didn't mind me taking a picture. I thought some of you would be interested in the Bob Marley image used on a bag of some sort. The older gentleman was selling straw hats of all shapes and sizes and asked if I would take his picture. If you would like to see more of the colourful items they sold in this flea market, check my Blog this morning.
