Taken at the Barra's in Glasgow City centre, this site has been open since 1921, its a well established trading centre situated along from Argyle Street, I asked this gentleman if I could take his picture, he was a lovely softly spoken market trader who made time for me to take his picture even when there was potential roamers in his little section, converted to B&W just to convey the feel of the Barra's.
The Soo River Company steamer Soo River Trader is upbound on the Detroit River viewed from Windsor, Ontario with some gems still on the old Detroit skyline. The 1906 built Trader is the former Upper lakes Shipping "Goderich", just one of the old classics picked up from the scrap lists by the Soo River Company.

The greatest mystics have not been heretics but Catholic saints. In them “natural mysticism” which, like “natural religion,” is latent in humanity, and at the certain point of development breaks out in every race, came to itself; and attributing for the first time true and distinct personality to its Object, brought into focus the confused and unconditioned God which Neoplatonism had constructed from the abstract concepts of philosophy blended with the intuitions of Indian ecstatics, and made the basis of its meditations on the Real. It is a truism that the chief claim of Christian philosophy on our respect does not lie in its exclusiveness but in its Catholicity: in the fact that it finds truth in a hundred different systems, accepts and elucidates Greek, Jewish, and Indian thought, fuses them in a coherent theology, and says to speculative thinkers of every time and place, “Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”
-Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism, E. P. Dutton and Company (New York) pp. 105–6.

Celebrating my first post-Covid opportunity for travel photography – a very interesting and enjoyable trip to Uzbekistan in May 2023. The Uzbeks were one of the friendliest peoples I have ever encountered. This was the only example of anger that I witnessed – a market trader who was in a furious argument with a fellow trader concerning which of them should remove goods in front of their stalls to allow a vehicle’s entry.

A view of Okanagan Lake near Trader's Cove.
You can see a wisp of forest fire smoke just off the water to the right. A day later this area was closed to prepare for potential forest fire evacuation.
Selling lots of their lovely homemade goods from their narrowboats, nice to see it thriving, who needs internet shopping.

Peul (Fulani, Fulbe, Fula) herdsmen with traditional wide-brimmed fibre-and-leather conical hats meet at the weekly market in front of Djenné's Great Mosque. A colourful multiethnic gathering of herders and traders converges at the mosque from the surrounding regions and fertile flood plains of the Niger River inland delta in central Mali. Digital film scan, Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, shot directly under the noonday sun, circa 1976.
The Great Mosque of Djenné towers over the market in a seemingly apocalyptic backdrop on this day. The mosque is considered the world’s largest adobe building and one of the greatest achievements of Sudano-Sahelian architecture, unique to the semi-arid Sahel zone that stretches across northern Africa just south of an encroaching Sahara.
These Peul herdsmen are likely from the class of “free nobles” (mostly nomadic herders, religious and political leaders, some tradesmen and sedentary cultivators) at the top of a highly stratified caste-based Peul society.
Ethnographers distinguish this class from lower-tiered occupational groups or “castes” (griot story tellers and song-praisers, artisans, blacksmiths, potters, woodworkers, dress makers) and descendants of slaves (labourers, brick makers, house builders).

Postrscript - The enchanting Arabian Nights imagery emanating out of this ancient marketplace at the time if this photo shoot (1976) is reminiscent of a seemingly bygone Sahelian era devoid of smartphones, credit cards and packaged safari tours.
Nowadays, nascent tourism is on hold and easy access to markets, pastures and farmlands is hampered as ethnic strife and inter-communal violence continue to erupt under a fragile or failed Malian state with a troubled history of military coups.
The current military junta relies on mercenaries from the private Russian-backed Wagner Group for its security needs, coinciding with the recent French withdrawal of troops from the region. By providing protection to the Malian military regime, the Moscow-centered paramilitary group has increased its power and access to Mali's scarce natural resources.
In 2018, Human Rights Watch reported that the Mopti region of central Mali has become an epicentre of inter-rethnic conflict, fuelled by a steady escalation of violence by armed Islamist groups largely allied with Al Qaeda’s advance from the north since 2015.
Recruitment to the militant Islamist movement from Peul pastoral herding communities has inflamed tensions within sedentary agrarian communities (Bambara, Dogon, Tellem, Bozo and others) who rely on access to agricultural lands for their livelihood.
Predominantly Muslim but opposing ethnic self-defence militias on both sides have been formed for the protection of their own respective communities. This has contributed to a continuous cycle of violent attacks and reprisals touching villages and hamlets, pastures and farmlands, and some marketplaces.
While communal tensions are profoundly connected to a larger ethnopolitical conflict unfolding in northern Mali, chronic insecurities around the ancient town of Djenné and in the broader central regions of Mali are exacerbated by longstanding indigenous concerns over a struggle for scarce natural resources - agricultural land for settled farmers versus water and grazing land for semi-nomadic Peul herdsmen.
Efforts at mediation in the area around Djenné and the grand mosque include a Humanitarian Agreement specifically among Bambara and Bozo farmers, Dogan "hunters" protecting farmers' interests and Peul herders, all committed to guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods and livestock in the "Circle of Djenné" situated in the Mopti region of central Mali.

Another of the Dino Traders, this one uses the Pyroraptor from LEGO set #76951, "Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport"
I was originally going to use both dinos in that set to pull a cart (the previous pic) but the Pyroraptor is significantly bigger than the Dilophosaurus.
Not exactly T-Rex size, and certainly not Kale Scale size, but bigger.

First roll of film through a 70's Vivitar 35EE I found in the flat a few years ago. The film was pretty old too.

Ever since I first got the old Star Wars Kaadu mold a few months back, I‘ve been meaning to create something like this.
The aesthetic of this post is very much inspired by legendary French artist Jean Giraud "Mœbius". I‘ll be posting some more pictures of the trader tomorrow.
