Oil-rich

I’m back to shopping pictures, just scenes I’ve come across that I found interesting for one reason or another (sometimes probably silly ;-)). This may be a common sight to some in the West, but personally I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much cooking oil in a supermarket!

beautiful composition Helen

Si je me fie à ce présentoir, la clientèle ne manquera pas d'huile. Une très belle perspective! V

Usually not that much in stores here!. Great perspective to capture all of the oil. It's interesting to see the Splenda. V

Love how you composed this! You really made all that oil very interesting looking. V

Wow. That's a bit surprising! V

It's certainly a lot and I like how t he colours graduate from gold to green and back again. I always love walking around supermarkets when I'm visiting different countries as it gives you 'a feel' for life there.

This display certainly looks like a homage to cooking oil!! Quite remarkable. Love your shot, by the way! V

Superb compo and marvellous choice of POV! V

Wim Ensie		26-Dec-2014 13:35
Indeed a lot of oil and your pov is perfect.

Tom LeRoy		26-Dec-2014 12:49
The POV is really great to show ALL of this oil on the shelf. That's a lot of fried chicken! V

I hand´see so much oil in any supermarket. But I don´t frequent many supermarkets (LOL)...v.

I guess there's a heck of a lot of fried food in Riyadh...and then people use Splenda to make up for the calories in the oil.

Brenda		26-Dec-2014 11:42
WOW! As far as the eye can see! Amazing how much there is of each brand. No store here every devotes that much shelf space to one brand.

John Reynolds LRPS		26-Dec-2014 08:49
No, I have never seen so much cooking oil in one place!
