The picture shows a fish and vegetable market in the residental part of the city. We can see the people doing shopping in the morning, sellers, food stands and products, as well as surrounding buildings. We can also see a tree behind the market, which allows you to think that it is Mediterrean region, because this kind of tree is very characteristic for this area. The invisible information in this picture is that the market generates very big noise. It is very irritating for people who live there. Moreover, people very often buy fish and vegetables on this market, because it is very cheap comparing to all the supermarkets around the city. This region is not very rich, so this is important for home budgets of the inhabitants. Moreover, this market is open only a few times per a week, only for a few hours in the morning. The rest of time it is one of the most commonly used streets for all the inhabitants in this area. This is usually very crowded street and the market makes it even more crowded. You can get this information and knowledge by observing, talking to people or discovering the area and thanks to this knowledge, it is possible to improve this part of the city with more parking places for cars, especially the sellers have a lot of problems with providing products and their vans. Also, there should be more space for pedestrians, especially for these who are not interested in shopping. The market dominates and subjugates the entire area in the time it is opened. The market itself should have more space, because more and more sellers want to work there and there is less and less space.
