Hi!
On Saturday October 31, I had the energy to go out to shoot, but not really to travel across the city somewhere. So I walked quite close to my hotel, going down some streets I had covered before and others that were new to me. By the end of the walk, I suddenly came to an area where a largish market selling live poultry was set up in the street. I felt this was quite temporary, or at least only on Saturdays, since none of the activities had anything permanent to them. Like a warehouse or the like, to have part of the market indoors. The lorries offloading rectangular plastic boxes filled with chickens and the large round cages with more of the same offered a chance to get some graphic character in my shots. Still, I didn't stay that long. The smell was terrible, even with my mouth open. I have seen many small butcher shops, with fresh meat right next to live chickens awaiting their turn, in many places before, but this was the biggest wholesale poultry market I have seen so far.
On Sunday, it rained a lot, and I stayed in the hotel. On Monday, I went to Delhi. The next blog will be from there.
Take care,
Niklas
