Double accordion.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Mike. He captured this shot at a little grocery store in Venice.

Despite the photo being a bit blurred, I absolutely love the subject. Two people out buying fruit with their accordions in tow. What do you think? Are they a long time couple who bonded over their love of accordion music? Or two people on a quirky first date? I’d guess the first, but I’m hoping for the later. 

Thanks, Mike!

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Audrey at That Backpacker. Remember her from her 10 Questions interview? She snapped this photo in the Gocheok-dong neighborhood of Seoul. She says it’s quite common to see chili peppers drying in the sun all over the city. I don’t even want to think about how spicy those guys are! 

Thanks, Audrey!

Mouthbreather.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Em at Ice Cream Cone Life. She snapped this shot while visiting the Louvre in Paris. I’m just going to copy and paste what she wrote because I couldn’t do better if I tried…

I just really like the expression on the kid’s face in this photo because that was exactly how I felt the entire time I was in the Louvre in Paris.  Just completely overwhelmed.  By the insane amount of people, the millions of interpreters interpreting in every language, and of course, by the art.  Its a crazy place.  It can turn anyone into a mouth breather.

Hehe, so true!

Thanks, Em!

Moped gang.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Molly courtesy of her trip to the Maldives. It’s a reminder that traffic jams around the world come in all different shapes and sizes!

Thanks, Molly!

Head gear.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from the Outremont neighborhood of Montreal. While Mike and I were seeking out the famous bagels, we passed several Jewish men wearing fur hats. I was puzzled as to why so many men would be wearing such warm head gear in the middle of summer (it was a hot day!), but after reading a bit more about shtreimlech, I think it must have been a special occasion.
