Eid in the rain

The following four images, although suitable for "Buildings", are not allowed because they were taken four years ago. Hence the November post of an October subject. Madame and I spent Eid in Istanbul in 2005. Most of the shops were shut because it was Eid, although museums and places of worship were generally open, as were the Turkish baths.

I've posted these simply because I like the black backdrops. It's not often that the subject is lit by the sun, the cloudy background is as black as your hat, and I have a camera to hand.

Need I say that the rain threw down almost continuously throughout our stay?
