Otavalo Textile Market Bright Stacks Makurdi

Vibrant stacks of woven textiles fill a narrow covered bazaar aisle in Makurdi, their colors popping against the damp gray floor. Late afternoon light falls through the awnings, illuminating the wet surfaces and creating soft reflections on the ground. The fabrics display intricate patterns in deep reds, bright yellows, and indigos, stacked in neat columns that reach toward the low ceiling. Dampness rests on the edges of the awnings, where water droplets hang precariously before falling. The close-up view highlights the rough texture of the wool and the smooth sheen of the synthetic threads. One shadow falls across the bottom of a stack, marking the edge of the light.
