Circles and Circles in Circles
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

This was taken at the restaurant down the street from our apartment. It's the sign out in front, and it says, "Embers Meat Restaurant." I've been by there several times looking at the sign trying to gauge the best time of day to shoot it (and the staff keeps hanging out the windows to see what I'm up to). I wanted the sun against it, but it was simply blinding, there's so much gold on the sign. Maybe I'll go back around sunset and try again (when the customers can also gawk at me :-)).

Helen, I'm glad you've landed in one place/ one piece. Hope you don't feel "gilty" about your submission!

Mike and Bev,

Actually, I "am" easily intimidated when being gawked at, but I've developed a way to sort of turn my mind inward and visually and mentally block the gawkers out, so I've at least gotten a little braver! And Mike, I see the frog too -- watching somebody (but not me :-)) Helen

Nice capture, Helen - had a good laugh when reading your comments. I'm happy you're not easily intimidated and am looking forward to your pictures of Turkey. Bev

Helen, I really like the color combination and graphic qualities of this sign...you captured it well. I'm glad you don't mind being "gawked at" :) The "circles" taken as a whole remind me of a frog figure :) Good find. MFC
