This was one of the first photos I took upon arrival in Istanbul, on the roof bar of our hotel, still reeling from jet lag. It was dusk, and when first arriving in a Muslim country, I couldn’t help but be fascinated with the minarets everywhere. This one is part of the famous Blue Mosque, but what made it cool was catching the couple getting their picture taken at the roof bar next door…probably with a different minaret in the background of their shot.
