Stone Wall


Photo Information
Shot in Mardin. The unruly young tourists, as is sometimes the case, carved their names or initials and the names of their towns to the soft stones of the wall of a historical building.

Best viewed large.

I like the view right through the building.
It's always a shame to see historical buildings vandalised in this way.

It is a shame but its turned this blank wall into a wonderful photo opportunity. Well done Nezih for taking advantage of it.

Very evocative, Nezih. There are a few places near here with ancient graffiti carved into soft limestone.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I must say the writing is done in quite an arty way and makes the picture more interesting, very nice b/w
Kind regards Maria
