We spent our last three nights in Istanbul, at the Bebek Hotel. Even
though it was unbearably hot, we took frequent walks and I kept wanting
to take snapshots of this amazing door. I finally remembered to bring my
camera and took this photo and another.
I love pictures of doors and have taken many when I lived in Santa Fe (New Mexico) and in Dubai. This is a really unusual one, thanks for sharing.
Happy Birthday!!! 🙂 Hope you have many more wonderful years ahead! *hug*
Very interesting composition. I especially like the other picture you have connected to this. Looking back over some of your posts you have a cutie for a son.
So while metamorphosing on a dark staircase into Gaspara Stampa, I am referred to your post (07 May 2001) and translation of Sonnet 43. It is too distant to start with a ‘comment’on that, but have been walkingtalkingwriting in Istanbul just a few months after your visit –
“Salaam Aleikan – And Peace be with you”
– by way of beginning this conversation.
I am a middle school librarian in Bergenfield,NJ and found your site a few years ago. I teach a geographic awareness unit of the United States and your website and pictures help my 6th graders actually see the 50 states.Thank you for the wonderful pictures.
