There was something almost sensuous about this vegetable.
Paola told me its name but it slipped through this mind lost in absorbing all. I need to give you more details but I traveled light to the internet shop and don't have the correct spelling for things however ... this photograph was taken while wandering down narrow alleyways past tiny shops filled with both the surprising and the exquisite.
Did you pick up that I'm in love with this city then?
I'm subtle but I think that it's there for you to see ;)
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
It looks like it may be some kind of eggplant? Yes, we can tell you're having a great time--we're jealous!
ReplyDeleteIt's just an aubergine... But a round one (much tasteir!), as opposed to the elongated variety you find all over Europe...
ReplyDeleteAnd there was me ... so carried away by the colour and shape of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you both.
