<\/a>Akce Hotel Safranbolu<\/p><\/div>\n
Heading down the cobbled streets, I headed to the town square by the public baths. I waited until a early morning visitor entered the scene and made this image.<\/p>\n

I had passed by these circular benches earlier. Returning later, a white cat had climbed onto the bench and provided me an opportunity for a more interesting composition below.<\/p>\n

Heading back to the hotel for breakfast, several men had gathered on a bench in the town square, chatting and watching pigeons in this image.<\/p>\n

After breakfast, Angela and I headed back, doing some shopping. At the mosque, close to the public baths, I made this image of the roof domes. Each of the domes has an ornament (I am not sure of the name) that appears to be the shape of a crescent moon.<\/p>\n

This mosque had a minaret at one of the corners of the main building. Positioning myself below the minaret, I made this image looking directly up at the minaret.<\/p>\n

At the rear or the public baths, washing lines were loaded with towels to dry. Perhaps they had been washed and put out to dry?<\/p>\n

An archway leads to the front entrance to the baths. I had noticed the two men, sitting on the left in this image, engrossed in their smartphones. Both men had been sitting there for over a half hour without moving!<\/p>\n

At one of the cobbled street corners close to the baths, over a dozen cats had congregated, waiting for food. I found one cat under a bench, gazing out at the action in the street.<\/p>\n

We stopped at the saffron store, where Angela bought some saffron. I made this image of the store owner waiting in the doorwar for the next customer. This storefront was adorned with several posters and signs extolling the virtues of saffron and advertising other goods for sale.<\/p>\n

We passed a perfume store, where bottles of perfume were lined up along the window ledge. As soon as I saw the donkey, I could not help but make this image.<\/p>\n

Various stores were selling fabric goods. Stopping at one of theses stores, I made this image of a pile of colorful fabrics.<\/p>\n

Another store had glassware, that I captured here.<\/p>\n
