"Hats off to Pashmina"

While visiting a city in Virginia during a heat wave. I took a walk through their very vibrant and eclectic downtown area. I strolled  past the multitude of one of a kind shops, rare bookstores, and outdoor cafes.
In the middle of all the hustle and bustle were many vendors from Nepal. All selling an assortment of Pashmina scarves, hats, jewelry and accessories.
This wild arrangement with all of the bold colors and styles struck me, so I took a few shots at different angles. I liked this one the best.
The vendors were really friendly and stopped their work to just sit and chat with me for a long time.
What started out as a very hot walk in an unfamiliar area turned into a quite an enjoyable and beautiful experience.
