Random Monument

As I walked from the Blue Mosque to the Hagia Sophia I passed this monument.

I didn't take the time to figure out what it was a monument to, or why it was there.

I just stopped because I liked the way the sun was hitting it and making the gold mosaics sparkle.


And the way the birds were lined up so neatly across the top, barely moving, they almost looked like they were a part of the monument itself and not just sitting there resting.

I hope you have an amazing weekend planned - how many of you are gearing up to travel next week (American Thanksgiving?) What are your tactics to make the trip less painful?

Speaking of birds, I haven't posted anything by Eva Cassidy in a very long time, here's her amazing "Songbird."

As I pulled the pictures off my camera for my last post I discovered an adorable shot of Miss M. It made me a bit homesick for her and I can't wait to see what she is doing in a few weeks when I get to hang out with her again.

For a beautiful little girl who loves music, a beautiful song.

To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
