MARKET CROSS ON WATER

This market cross (at least that is what it looks like) is in the middle of one of the salt pans at Salini. My guess is that, like in many other places, deals and transactions where confirmed in front of this cross. And the selling of salt in the days when the only way to preserve food items was salt was a very important industry and the price of salt was quite high. The two ducks looked like they are guarding the cross against vandalism. I converted the picture to b&w and was unsure whether to post the coloured or mono version – still unsure – but decided on the mono.
Thank you very much for your views, comments and fav's.

Looks good in mono. The ducks seem to be taking their guard duty seriously.

This is super and I love the b&w, it really accentuates the brickwork.

I really like how you captured the stone wall with bricks and steps. I captured this cross a few weeks back from a different pov. I like your b&w rendering.
