Captured by the talented photographer Vivienne Sharp, this image encapsulates the essence of a bustling market day in Iraq. The scene is alive with activity as people from all walks of life navigate through a maze of colorful stalls and shops. The architecture of the buildings adds an air of authenticity to this snapshot in time. Each structure stands tall and proud against the bright blue sky, showcasing intricate details that reflect Iraqi craftsmanship.
