The Galata tower which was built in 500 A.D., is one of the dominating landmarks of Istanbul. As well as having been used as a lighthouse it was also used as a watchtower to help defend the city. ... from my childhood, i always liked lighthouses. There is something magical about a lighthouse. A sailor once told me that every ship on land is a potential lighthouse, I liked that image, they also said houses are upside down badly built boats....so every landlubber like myself, who does not want to get too far from shore, can imagine sailing nowhere in a lighthouse. Like the aqueducts lighthouses are beautiful and serve a great purpose as well they are a great metaphors for the mystics among us...because in the words of Benjamin Franklin “Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.”
That's a rather beautiful lighthouse. And Aja you're quite photogenic in these pictures. =)
