Helen....Beautiful capture of a "piece of history" or should I say a "Moment in History"? I like how you have captured all the textures of the stones and varied colors/tones of them. This is a stone wall with "Character". Very interesting looking at what's left of anchient sculptures on the wall and the -pazar- gives it nice contrast from then to now. Bill B

I love seeing your pictures from around the world - especially Turkey. I have a sister-in-law who is from Turkey.

Helen, I like your capture of this "all-stone" scene...nice textures & lighting. I esp like the mix of stones with & without sculpted design patterns. Interesting subject. MFC
