Umbrella Among Shoppers

Shot at Bailan Market in Taipei, Taiwan.

The stores were side by side in the street in Bailan Market. And the shoppers were walking. According to the Google map, this market was called a traditional market. Surely, the area crammed with many small shops fitted the mold to call a traditional market. On the other hand, I wondered what the modern market was in Taiwan. Is it a kind of supermarket?

Walked among the local shoppers. Even though it was morning, the sun was strong already. Every shop opened the sunshade to avoid the sun in the storefront. And the shadows were made on the street. It was the only center part of the street where the sun came. Watching the people, I found an umbrella among them. The woman putting the umbrella up seemed not to be interested in the articles for sale in this market. She moved the sunny spot smoothly.
