looking up



is hosted by tnchick

This week's theme is a free choice....since I was in  Istanbul last week my choice is a view of the Blue Mosque, a fascinating place and hard to photograph to do it justice. Pls click to enlarge for an overview of the decorations!

    That is STUNNING! I am lost for words and I haven't even started looking for an entry for this week. Sometimes a free choice is more difficult than a restrictive one, but you have a winner!

    I like the angle this is posted. It looks like someone could just easily walk up and look out the window.

    Thanks for stopping in for cup of coffee and the pot is always on.

    Hard to photograph perhaps, but you did an outstanding job. It's so worth enlarging it. Great work Mar!

    What a beautiful shot Mar. I didn't even look to see what photohunters was this week because I was out of town Thursday morning through Saturday but I would have been tempted to post date if I have. Looking up is a great theme.

  40. CarverOctober 18, 2009 4:33 PM

    Well I wrote to fast. I said have instead of had. Then I realized it was a free choice this week, not looking up. Oh well, I need to wake up, ha.
