brought to you by the letter N





Notice the neat ceiliNg!

Pls click to enlarge! Another perspective from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Did I mention it is huge? there are some 4,000 little shops  and it has more than 50 streets, so it is very easy to get lost. The good thing is that the stalls in the bazaar are grouped by type of goods, such as  pottery, jewelry, leather and carpet shops. There is much, much to see, I am glad I didn't miss the ceiling! (which wasn't always this neat!)

    I remember walking around Leipzig (Germany) and never noticing anything at eye-level, because everything above eye-level was so gorgeous. Sometimes looking up gives you fantastic views and ideas. Your looking up certainly produced a great photo! I Noticed it...
