Well, I took some pictures of the city at night but none of them turned out. Which is too bad because they would have better proved my point than these...
The thing is, at nighttime when you look out across the city it doesn't seem so far away; so foreign. At nighttime it's just a dark bunch of buildings and street lamps.
It's interesting how 'American' it all feels when all you can see are city lights and as you look out over the cityscape it just fades into the darkness. It's calming... for awhile.
But eventually, the light comes back and exposes the city for what it is... which is not American at all and it loses all that reminds me of home, as you can see from these daylight pictures.
Can be very deceiving at night. Thanks for the pictures. Beautiful city, reminds me of Greece and the same type of buildings, except the mosque. Although, greek churches look similar. Wonder why night pics didn't come out. Maybe a different setting will work. Have a good one. Love you,
