338 - 18th - Two old men

Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 18th Nov'08

It was late at night and there was no one to whom these two old waiters would serve at their small restaurant. So they were just sitting together at the entrance of the place and probably chatting merrily. The wind was chilly and it was getting colder every passing moment, but they were so lost in their conversation, that they didn't seem to care.

335 - 15th - The empty restaurant

It was 9 at night and not really a time for people to desert the markets. Maybe it was the effect of lowering temperatures or tiredness of a long weekend that made the restaurants and markets seem empty. I entered a small restaurant to have dinner & I realized that I was the only one inside the place apart from the waiters and the cook. I ordered a plate of quesadillas and while the waiter served them I decided to fool around with the camera. The result is the image above :)

334 - 14th - Interesting woodwork

On my way to Taxco, I stopped at a "scenic-point" from where one could see the the whole city in a single view. I came out from the car and was searching for a nice angle for the shot when I saw this small shop set up on the pavement. The owner of the shop was busy working on a wood piece to create something like what he had on display. The things kept there varied from small decorative pieces to general utility items like spoons & tumblers.

I really liked the quality of his work and the reasonable prices he was offering. I bought a set of 3 wooden bowls with wooden spoons to take back to India. It was really something original and hard to find.
