the 'silent' beauty of exquisite detail


    the ottoman tombstones. 
    the calligraphic detail of koranic verses, poems, symbols and images.
    tombs decorated with grapes, pomegranates, olives. ( of the women )
    the top of the tombstone decorated with the headpieces worn ( of the men )
    walking amongst the tombs for me was simply an observation of silent beauty.
