8th: Roof with a View
by Helen Betts

Istanbul, Turkey

This was taken from the roof of the Kapali Çarsi, or Covered Bazaar, which is almost impossible to get on to. A friend of mine arranged it with the bazaar management and in the beginning of my "tour," a security guard came running and made me stop taking pictures and leave. This was one of the few shots I got, of Nuruosmaniye Mosque (1755).

Love the compostiton and the roofs. The mosque in the distance is a good counterpoint.
