| Row houses converted into shops on the way from the metro to the market.
They're lively and colorful. (This is 7th St SE.)
| Outdoor farmers market stands are under this long pavilion roof.
| Fun purses; I like the cat and the frog ones near the middle of this
picture.
| Another view of the outdoor farmers market stands.

| An uncovered section of the market: restaurants in the buildings on the
right; artsy stuff in the booths on the left. The previously
photographed covered part of the market is the next row to the left.
| The main entrance to the indoor section of Eastern Market.
Also,
don't miss the woman in foreground-right who's being interviewed for
television. She makes art that looks like paintings yet seems glossy
and reflective like glass. (Sorry I didn't look closer to see what
material she uses.)

| A section of the flea market. This was on the off-seasons on a holiday
(New Years day) when most of the market was closed so there were fewer
stands than usual.
| Old posters, magazine covers, advertisements, etc. for sale. I could
flip through these for a long time. They're a snapshot of culture,
historically educational, artistically stylish, and sometime humorous.
| One stand specializes in print block, wood blocks, and stamps. Neat.
I have no idea what I'd do with them though.

| Sadly, the South Market Hall was closed on this holiday. Happily, this
meant I could photograph it without any people getting in the way. It
looks like it's mainly for meats, cheese, and deli items, with a bit of
freshly-cooked foods too.
| A quick panoramic movie of the bustle of the inside of the market on a
Sunday morning. The fishmonger is on the right; on the left is the long
line for the only cooked-food joint inside the market building.
