Walking around Vienna we stumbled across a street market selling all sorts of goods from elegant jewellery, antique crockery, books and bric-a-brac.
One of the things I wanted to do when I set out on the roadtrip was to do some street photography. Vienna provided lots of great opportunities and in markets there are always lots of photos waiting to be captured.

Tomorrow I am going into Paris to meet up with some very special friends but after lunch I will have another go at photographing people on the streets. I will let you know how that goes. I'm
