Peace

 

Not quite sure why, but this evening I found myself thinking of those moments of peace that, if we're lucky, sometimes mysteriously descend upon us and remind us that, despite appearances, everything's really okay. Sometimes being exposed to something or someone or somewhere exceptionally beautiful helps precipitate that kind of experience. The shot above is of the interior of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul and I took it just after performing the Isha' Prayer there, on the last night of our December holiday in the mythical city. I felt sensationally privileged to be praying there and perhaps the picture might help you understand why.
