Minaret

Yet another minaret -- this one near the gate in the precious pictures -- which look similar but in fact are quite different in style and detail.

Beautiful comp and capture, Helen. Similar yes, but also very different in detail.

Your comment about the similarity and differences of this minaret and others must be something you would be particularly aware of seeing them often.Another great capture ,Helen...you really have a feel for the nature of the traditions of the country.V
