zucche al mercato / winter squashes at the farmers' market

they come in many shapes and sizes

I don't think I'll ever cease to be fascinated by pumpkins, winter squashes and gourds: they are a pleasure to all the senses.

This is my submission to week #19 edition of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook. Savoring the weekly gallery is highly recommended: it's a very special mid-week treat.

The photo was shot in color and then converted to light sepia.

This post contains the gallery of images submitted to the event.

Ciao Francesca e grazie. Spero che lo farai. Per me BWW e' ormai diventato un appuntamento imperdibile.

Ciao Ale e grazie.

Ciao Marta. Anche io sono terribile quando si tratta di tagliare le zucche, nel senso che da una parte voglio assaggiarle e dall'altra mi dispiace tagliarle. Per fortuna si mantengono per un po', ma certo non per sempre. Fammi sapere quando trovi il coraggio ;)

I love how the squashes look in sepia! In color, they are beautiful, too, but one gets lost in the oranges and yellows. In sepia, each has its own hue, plus the lumps, bumps and imperfections add texture to the image. Regarding Poldark and Cornwall, it's been ages since I've seen the program-will have to watch it again. Everyone tells me Doc Martin is very good. It was filmed in Port Issac, not far from Padstow. We visited there one day, but the crowds were too much for us.

Hi Lynne. I am fascinated by the different surface texture. I'll check Doc Martin: thanks!
