Fresh vegetables on a stall in a Tangier market.

Chickens hang from hooks at this stall in a Tangier market. On the counter you can see the carcass´s of pigeons that made the mistake of getting close to the stall owner. Pigeon is an expensive bird in Morocco so the stall owner catches them, kills them & then feathers them before selling them at his stall.
