7th Place
Saturday Afternoon at the Teahouse
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

Another shot taken in the old part of Ankara. I started to clone out the wires but they are just such an integral part of this place, I decided to leave them.

Helen, I don't know how you do it! As Cheryl mentioned, there is lots to look at in this scene, and yet, one would NOT describe it as being "too busy." I agree with Marcus about the electric/phone lines. Is that a satelite dish on the far building? Great work, as usual.---Deb

Very nice! I'm glad you left the wires. They may be the only thing holding this place together. :) Really neat place. This photo has a lot of stories to tell.

Thank you for the comments! It';s a fascinating area, and I'm glad I could share it with you. Larz, I waited for the car to leave as somebody got into it while I was standing there, but unfortunately they jiust sat there in it! I finally had to give up. Helen

Wow, nice work Helen. If that car were not there, it would be hard to tell which century this was from.
