faces in the crowd

This tour is all about exploring human-made spaces for human needs.  But somehow the people these spaces were made by and for are unformed, not real flesh and blood. I marvel at their creativity, their skill, their fortitude, but their humanity is missing.  In the end it is their ancestors I connect to, those whose have inherited the legacy of the Byzantines, the Seljuks, the Ottomen, and who live among the ruins and interpret old lifestyles to us while they themselves carve out their own lives in a modern world.  These are the faces of Turkey I will remember.
