The Gold Market

in #marketfriday6 years ago

The heaviest four days of the week have passed and now Friday is announcing our weekend.

Another nice part of our presence here in Steemit is that we have acquired new habits imposed by different challenges. Every day, we choose a color day in #colorchallenge, Wednesday we go for a walk with #WednesdayWalk, Friday to the market with #MarketFriday, Sunday be #beautifulsunday and #sublimesunday. If we have stranger passions, we can even post photos from cemeteries in #Cemeteryphotos.

Now, more recently, we can post about ourselves: memories, passions and others on Saturday #sam-saturday. In conclusion, time to have ... as subjects are a lot.

This post is for you, for #MarketFriday and @dswigle and for me, too.

It's been almost three weeks since I finished my vacation in Thassos and I have not finished the presentation of those seen there. Today will be the third post in the #marketfriday series in Thassos.

Gold and other precious materials on the seashore.

In the small town where we spend the summer holidays, Limenaria of Thassos Island, there is a jewelery factory and, of course, a great showroom called Iris Gold.

The shop is located on a hill near the beach and has a wonderful view. I have found a short movie about ten years ago where you can better see the position of this store.

In the ten years that have passed since the movie was made, things have changed, as you will see in the following pictures.

The view, all around!

Now comes the most beautiful part, the side from the sea. There is also a terrace where you can have a drink of fresh fruit juice, a refreshing beer or a coffee.

Now it's time to get to the store.

Unfortunately, I had to take some photos with the hidden camera, so their quality is from weak to very poor. I apologize! The store had a very sophisticated and modern security system so I imagined that taking pictures might seem suspicious. Now I realize that I did not ask if I can take pictures ... it may not have been forbidden.

The guard was very alert and suspicious, and immediately discouraged you from having any dangerous thoughts.

These are the few photos I've been able to make.

That's how I could photograph. I can confirm that I have seen a lot of great jewelry. I'm not too attracted to gold so I loved silver jewelry with amber. I got out of there pretty good, I bought only a silver cross with granat.

I went out again in the yard of the store. There I was busy trying to photograph some butterflies that resemble humming birds.

However, the surrounding landscape is more attractive and you cannot take your eyes off it.

One last drink and then we had to leave.

It was a nice visit to a special store. However, it was too much for our pockets. Next year we will have to be better prepared.

Goodbye!

End with a flower, always a flower ... as our friend @dswigle suggests!

If you want to add something new to your everyday habits then you may want to confess and share memories, passions and other less known things about you. We do that on Saturday in a new challenge called SAM

What a fabulous blog @bluemoon You have given us so much to enjoy here and the scenery is heavenly. That guard dog certainly was taking his job very seriously. I would have been cautious too, with all that gold around. Thank you for sharing this very beautiful part of the world with us. Have a great weekend.

Thank you! It's a very nice place and I'm waiting for each end of the summer to go there.

What a wonderful way to start out my #MarketFriday! A wonderful trip to such a beautiful island. I watched the video and cannot believe what a difference ten years has made!

I love the sweeping view of the beach and the cozy little cafe where one can take a drink or a bite to eat. The atmosphere is very nice, it seems. I can only imagine sitting along the beachside, enjoying my meal and drink, taking in all that beauty. It makes such a difference, doesn't it? The setting of your meals? It doesn't have to be perfect or beautiful, just comfortable to your soul. (and have good food! It is the way to my heart!)

I understand about hiding the camera, it is not always easy to get permission and I would have been shaking in my shoes after seeing the guard! He seemed mighty suspicious of you! They had a huge selection of jewelry and the choices are many! I will bet you picked a beautiful piece. I have never seen anything less than beautiful from Greece. I have no idea why, but, for some reason in Greece and Italy gold rules. I only used to buy gold until I turn to white gold or silver which is now my choice for a few years. I still love my gold pieces, but, especially in diamonds, the while gold shows off the stones much more brilliantly.

Thank you for such a beautiful post and showing off another part of your stay. There is always next year. You must always save something for the next year, right?

I believe what you photographed is called a hummingbird hawk-moth. {See here}()

Thank you for mentioning your challenge SAM (something about me) we can post about ourselves: memories, passions and I must say that it is much different than I supposed at first. I can keep posting, it doesn't have to be a one time thing. I like the premise and of course, I can seeit is doing very well, which, I am happy for you. It is a success! So, let us throw our support out for Saturday #sam-saturday.

Thank you again for being part of #MarketFriday and for posting a flower. I am so honored.

Tip!

How nice you pass through the whole post, I'm glad you always find things you like.
You're right about Greece, it's great. Being on an island ... I'm glad I've lived enough to be able to see this part of the world.
Thanks for what you say about SAM challenge. Thanks for wanting to help. Thank you. I don't know how long this challenge will be but are very valuable contributions so far. You may want to see the recapitulative posting of the week ... which will be Monday.

Wow! It has changed in 10 years! I don't wear much jewelry so I probably wouldn't have been too tempted by that but it looks like they have many beautiful things in there. And look a shadow picture!

That shadow was ready for your contest. Hand shadow. After all, I chose others ...

I loved the one you entered, but then narrowed the winners down by photos that focused just on hands. There were so many enteries! Anytime you want to choose a category for the week and be the judge, all you have to do is get a sample photo to me. I would love to have you do that!

Thank you, Melinda. I will do it with pleasure, I have to find only a theme to incite.

magnificent house building
beautiful scenery
luxurious life
gold jewelry is indeed charming
very cool and amazing 👍😎😍

Thank you! I'm glad you like.
