A unique gallery of great beauty, atmosphere and exoticism! I especially love your street portraiture: it is characterized by tenderness, warmth, sensitivity, compassion and humanity. A personalised slice of life and culture. So memorable! Congratulations. Voted !!

Hi Monique, As I told you I had to almost fly throe the gallery and on the way I see that you have posted many more... or that is what I think. In any case, you have some nice street and inside photos of Istambul, I find it kind of melancholic point of view, making the portraits of the people abstracting them of the context in many cases creates this kind of aislated feeleng of these subjects specially since most of them have their eyes lost in the horitzon and with the strong features of their faces it seems more evident still. Nice job
