My recent visit to Pike Place Market in Seattle provided a great opportunity to see lots of different colors. Fresh fruits and vegetables were a welcome sight during a long winter. Here are some of the colors of the market displays.

For a contrast, I took two pictures of the same scene – one in black and white and one in color.

Those apples are mighty shiny. Do you think they polish them before putting them out? Perfect for the teacher’s pet, pre-polished apples :)

what beautiful captures. one of my favourite places to visit when in Seattle, second only to Safeco Field at Game Time. Go Mariners! but i digress. :)
i think that a world of black & white might be dramatic, but it would be missing out on all the wonder & cheer of a world of colour. thanks for sharing!
