Every day as I walk to work, I walk through one of Melbourne's iconic markets, the Queen Victoria market. It's known for its fresh food, most of which are sold by the farmers who farmed the produce themselves.
On top of that there are also a wide variety of stalls that sell clothes, toys, watches, art works and every other knick knack you can think of.
During the summer months, the Queen Victoria market holds a night market every Wednesday evening which has a more festive, celebratory atmosphere. The fun begins early evening when the sun is still up until long after the summer sun sinks below the horizon.
So every Wednesday as I walk home from work, I walk through the night market and soak up the festive atmosphere and take a few photos, both with my LX5 and my M8.2.
Here are some photos (many of which I have posted before) in memory of a summer of Wednesday night markets:

The food was amazing. You could find almost ALL kinds of great food there from all parts of the world. Last year every week I'd go back and get myself this amazing African mince and sour bread dish. The year before that it was kangaroo burgers. This year I couldn't wait to get some Greek kebabs:

By the time I get there straight after work, the early evening summer sun is still quite bright so I could use the sun in some of the photos I took:
