A haunting call to prayer with lovely images as well.
I tried to record a call to prayer in the cities of Istanbul and Konya but there was too much other traffic noise, etc. The above link has the muezzin doing the morning call to prayer. It is a You Tube video with Islamic images as well.

 |
| Carpets had many different patterns and delicate details. |

| This wooden mosaic was on a wall as part of the museum building! |
How old are the Oriental rugs?
