bursa market pineapples Bursa, Turkey

Friday’s Fotoğrafı, 16 January: Pineapples are sold from a pushcart on a snowy, blustery day in Bursa’s downtown bazaar. As the first big snowstorm of the year hit Bursa, the central bazaar continued to bustle as neither sellers nor shoppers seemed phased by the cold, snow, and wind. For 3 TL (€1.12/$1.30) a piece, shoppers could buy fresh (or would they be frozen?) pineapples right on the street in the middle of a snowstorm.
