It's a market day (pazar) at Çengelköy, a sunny Spring day. The stalls on the street, covered lightly, have put their produce beautifully on show. Spinach, carrots, cheese, cabbage, artichokes, bananas, lettuce, garlic, mushrooms, aubergines, tomatoes... and çağla, delicious and sour small green raw apricots [edit: not apricots! silly me... raw almonds]. The colours themselves are bright and fresh enough to eat! People are walking up and down the street. Two young girls have stopped to watch into the two card board boxes, with chicks cheeping inside.
Hear the chicks. You'll also hear the salesman shouting 'Taze günlük, taze günlük yumurtalar çiftlikten!' (Fresh daily, fresh daily eggs from the farm!)
