The Joy of Turkish Cay
by Helen Betts

Okinawa, Japan (but the tea and glass are from Turkey!)

This is a bird's eye view of Turkish tea, which is served in small, tulip-shaped glasses with a saucer and is drunk in copious amounts everywhere in Turkey, all day long. Ideally, it should be the color of rabbit's blood, and although I've never seen that, this is just about right. Add liberal amounts of sugar -- delicious!

Another outstanding image. The combination of light and color makes this a real eyecatcher. This and your other photo here, and some of your work in earlier STF galleries, show that you really have an incredible ability to find and attractively photograph unusual objects and colors, and unexpected compositions. - R.
