la première photo est superbe, la deuxième nous rappelle que les marchands sont rentrés dans le temple ;o) the first picture is superb, the second reminds us that the merchants have returned to the temple ;o)
Oh the top one is just lovely and the bottom photo made me laugh out loud! I had a flashback to the old Saturday Night Live episodes with Father Sarducci hawking the "Find the Pope in the Pizza" keychains! Hilarious. Yes, Jm we must know what's inside the plastic bottles!!!
The two pictures together are a great mix. What I like best is probably the chocolate in the second picture. By the way, I probably have to cut down on commenting a bit due to lack of time. Hope you'll understand, because I still really appreciate your blog JM!

Hello JM!
The first picture is magnificent!

Oh man, look at those colors!
Do you think St. Antonio would get a kick out of it?
The classic is my favorite!
The Antonio tiles are wonderful! Yes, I agree St. Antonio would get a kick out of it. What is he the patron saint of?
Oh dear, the second photo is a killer! Who would buy that???? (they look like bubble bath bottles, too!)
You have a great eye for finding such good pictures! I especially like the first one. The blue is beautiful!
I prefer classic! Beautiful photos!
I love the traditional tile. The figures look like they are from a cartoon of space creatures.
Your comment on my site today prompted me to tell my story about being attacked at night in the jungle by a wild animal, which I hope you will enjoy.
Ah JM those are both fantastic photos. I do have a slight preference for the first one though! ;-)
Yes, I agree with most of the comments. Picture #1 has character and essence...
The "soap bubble" thingys, not so much.
Good job, JM, as good photos generally stir things up a bit!
I'm in agreement with the others. The top photo is so understatedly elegant. The second subject is so over the top garish.
strange ! first or second style , it's not a fair choice, where is the third ;)
In my book , there's nothing like the crumbling classic.
But
those bright colors sure make for a vibrant image!
Jjjj
Great wall art photo, JM... thanks for visiting.
I love the wall. The color pops on the other photo. They look like candy. (or am I hungry)
Oh well spotted, I love that second picture, so funny! There's something about tacky religious kitsch, isn't there?!
j'adore les faince sur les mur de ton pays

Don't know what it says about me but I like the colourful ones!
The tiles are really pretty! As for the colorful, well de gustibum non disputandum est:)
Well, I'm just speechless, and for two different reasons. Santa Maria! What are they thinking?
The two pictures together are a great mix. What I like best is probably the chocolate in the second picture.

If those colored 'statues' are chocolate, I'll take them!
Hmmm… this would be a nice gift to the little old rich matronas of Sanctuario de San Antonio here! [evil grin]
I love that one on the building. Happy Easter to you... if you celebrated it.
Haha this is fantastic! I love this theme of classic vs trendy. Great idea.
Wonderful juxtaposition of images. The top one so delicate and the bottom so bold. I wonder if the top one was considered kitsch in its time?
Very colourful :)
The first one for its beauty .
The second for its colors and originality...
