2032

This photo was taken at one of the many flower markets in France. Throughout the city, these little shops are set up with flowers beautifully arranged, and they create complete visual feasts. These markets reminded me a lot of the article in 60 Million Frenchmen about seduction. Not only do these markets pull the consumer in to purchase the vibrant flowers, but they also add beauty to every street on which they reside. I put this picture in the Non-Verbal category, because I have also observed that whenever I walk past a flower market, the vendors have not been visible or prominent. The flowers are beautiful enough to display themselves and the prices are always very clearly marked, requiring almost no verbal communication. It is almost completely a visual process.
