Shop shutter up close !!
Most shop shutters this close seem to be pretty grubby !
Luckily this was relatively clean .
I’ve been reeling home
A broken shopping trolley
Wheels on the wrong
How come wisdom
Came on strong
But it’s too late to be done
Shot it at Puskkar Fair..it's just 11 km. from Ajmer(RAJASTAN,INDIA) comes alive during Puskar Fair, when people from all over Rajasthan converge at Pushkar with their cattle stock. Pushkar Fair is regarded as one of the largest camel festivals in the world. Celebrated in the month of October-November, Pushkar Fair attracts domestic as well as foreign tourist to Pushkar in Rajasthan.
Pushkar festival is not about camels only but it is also about horses, cows, goats, sheep and most importantly about the lively people of Rajasthan, who come to the Pushkar fair in their best attires. The festival looks like a riot of colors with men wearing colourful turbans and women in pleated ghagaras (ankle-length skirts) of different hues. The festival offers a wonderful opportunity to see the people selling and buying camels, goats, horses etc. Bargaining, negotiations and transactions remain order of the days during the festival.
Sporting events are other attractions of the Pushkar Fair. One can enjoy the camel and horse races during the festival. Camel beauty contest is another highlight of the festival. The beautifully decked up camels are paraded and then the most beautiful camel is selected.
Pushkar is a religious town and is one of the important pilgrimage centers of Hindus. Pushkar is known for the holy Pushkar Lake and the many temples that dot the area. Puskar is associated with lord Brahma and is the only place in India, which has a temple dedicated to lord Brahma.

Shopping - a near religious experience in our consumer societies all around the world - with the possible exception of North Korea. Shopping as the New World Religion. Advertising suggests: We stop shopping - we are doomed. Politicians watch their countries' consumer purchase indices nervously. Listen to the pulse of our society. Get with it. Go out there now and get high on shopping.
Yes, this is a social critique.

Have fun while you shop until you drop.

RE-POST Note, 11/21/08: I just got back from a photo contest put on by the local newspaper which is putting together a photobook of Ventura County, a slightly different version of this pic won a "peoples choice" award and is one of two pics that made the book (the other one linked below) anyway it was such an overwhelming experience, there were over 500 photographers & 9,000 images submitted, so to win one of the 25 awards and then sit for a book signing was simply amazing............. I'm not bragging but only releasing/sharing my excitement to my good friends on Flickr.

I was out shopping in one of the "big box" warehouse stores and was just feeling overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it. So I grabbed my camera and tried to give a sense of that feeling. The lighting wasn't great ... so the clarity and detail suffer. Maybe another time I'll do it justice.
A nod to Jovani, whose shopping cart photo made me realize that even shopping carts want to be in pictures.
