Turkish Ideal of Femine
This is just a woman in normal life in Istanbul. Women of Turkey have the freedom to dress how they want. For many who are Muslims this is the way they might dress. Some wear a hijha and burka, some may wear a full length skirt or dress. The way women dress is a personal preference.
Turkish Place of Worship
This is one of the many mosques of Istanbul, with Islam being the most proment religion a mosque would be a typical place of worship.
Something that was amazing about being in istanbul was that you could always see a mineret of a mosque, and hear the call to prayer any where in the city.
Male BFFS
This is an example of male BFFs in a park in Istanbul.
I did not think that getting a picture of this would be very interesting, but it really was. If we saw two guys walking in a park with arms around eachother in the US we would automtically think they were homosexual. That is definately not the case in Istanbul, male friends walk arm and arm, hold hands, or what ever this is.
