WALL OF SPONGES.

So, today no people, but the popular wall of sponges!
That of course was the first I saw, so literally attractive and eye-catching.
You didn’t seriously think I‘d walk out of there without a photograph of it did you? Ha ha…

A beautiful shop, where they sold olive soaps, fragrant herbs, delicious honeys, olive oils and ... aahh, yes, sponges!

I composed it so that there was nothing else but..

Wishing you a day full of colour, and thanx for viewing, Magda (*_*)

Hi Magda

A good daily life shot of the sponge shop. I like the warm yellow colors, & repetition. Good work!

I was going to ask you if you had taken teh pictuer of just the sponges. I should have known better than to do that. Very nice repetitions colours and arrangement.. TFS

Hi Magda,
There is really a lot of sponge in there. I like these yellow tones with this repetition of different but similar shapes. Very well done.

Haha; you did indeed; my complaint on yesterdays was missing this.
Wonderful sorted sea-materials; humans do nothing but categorizing and sorting what they discover; we call that science. I like this Magda; this shop can have some waterfloat; the sponges can hold over 100x its own weight, I guess.
Thanks

Superb. Love it.

Hi Magda,

You should have written in your previous photo 'To be continued'... :)
This beautiful, colourful 'wall of sponges' came straight from the sea bottom (the procedure is very difficult and dangerous, you know). That's why you should have one of these at home; because you know it's worth it and you appreciate it. :)
Here, you have captured it perfectly and you 've presented it even better. :)
Very well done and really TFS!

Nice to get a real close up of the sponges. So many different shapes and textures. Nice repetitions.

nice photo

Woooooow...

Great composition. Good yellow tones!
Nice shot!

TFS,
Chris

Funny! If it was not in case of the shelf.. It let the idea to run very fast and jump into the sponges lol! If they are full of warm water during a hot day it could be better!

Ok... Impressive choice! I like it! Very nice and surprising!

Hi Magda,
wow, that's very interesting - I've never seen such a store. Pretty yellow colours, I like this motive very much, thanks and greetings

I like it because of the textures... and the two "colors" in it... I would have like to see them more in a close-up (don't know really if it is the right word ; D )
Well done

Interesting texture you captured in this picture, Magda, with all of those shades of yellow to brown. I really it all piled on top of one another. Well done!

Hallo Magda. Dit was wat ik ook verwachte,na de man in de winkel, een gele muur van sponsen. erg mooi en zeer appart.
Zulke winkels zou je hier niet vinden.

I like this photo because I have never seen so much variety of sponges in one store! The sponges on the lower right hand corner is new to me. It made my eyes glued to the photograph for quite a while. TFS.

Wow, great colors, and textures in here Magda! Makes me want to buy a bagfu! I like how you filled the frame here, and I never thought I'd get excited about sponges, but you did it! :-)

It's very eye catching and eye candy! Full of colours indeed! TFS M!

Nicely captured, Magda, But a bit spongcy ?. lol Not sure how to write.
The different colours makes it an atractive view.
Jan

Hello magda!

I was wondering if you would post a photo of this interesting display! I knew you had a few in your bank!!!!

The neon lights probably helped in giving these colors.
Brilliant and warm mood.

Nice textures and composition. Difficult indeed to find a frame for such image. (O_*)

Take care Magda and hello to Paul

excellent and very very interesting.

christine.

Very good shot, simple but very interesting, because of the variety of the sponges. Nice detail and exposure.

No actual need for people here, Magda. Especially if they don't feel at easy on the wrong side of a lens ;o).
Lovely colours and... nice merchandise... Compo made in camera, I suppose ? Why didn't you step some more to the left so you could have kept the camera in a 90 ° angle ?
Anyway, TFS.
