Description

The Topkapi Palace is a people watching paradise. There are tourists from every corner of the world roaming through the courts and the buildings that are open to the public.

No; the women kept to themselves. When I first saw them 'Ninjas' come to my mind before I realized what they were. The guy with them was probably hired to protect their virtue.

I do like looking at people and again I see only one person smiling and a dozen or more that you cannot tell. I am very accepting of their culture in their country but I see far too much of that in my country where our freedom is largely based on trust, respect and the ability to talk face to face with strangers. I cannot have a meaningful conversation with someone behind a veil, so I am happy that movements have begun in Canada to prevent anyone in any position of authority (including teachers) from wearing any religious headgear or other obvious religious insignia. It will cause protests in the beginning but it will ultimately be better for everyone. I welcome immigrants into my country but I expect them to assimilate into our culture, not try to change it into the culture they just abandoned. Too many immigrants tend to bring all their sectarian problems with them and continue their fights here. Just recently there have been violent protests here between the two opposing sides in the Egyptian conflict. When they bring those problems here they should expect to face deportation back to where their violence is the norm. Changes to our laws are being made to allow this to happen.

The little boy in the bright green shirt jumps out of the picture with all those black-burka'd women behind him. It's so interesting to look at all the different kinds of people. Great shot!
