Time Out
by Helen Betts

Istanbul, Turkey

I happened to see this couple playing tavla (backgammon) while walking along the waterfront in Uskudar, on the Asian side of the city.

I really like everything about this image, Helen. Great capture.

I like the chains which surround the subjects as it makes them seem imprisoned by the world of which they remain, even though it may be across the water.

That's a lot of concrete on the other side of the river...

Nice, sharp and clear, Helen, I really like the perspective from this location, one gets a very good idea of how enormous Istanbul actually is. The image gives me a very strong sense of being there. Ahh well, some day.... ;)
