On Saturday afternoon the NYC Urban Sketchers continued their virtual event. Some people continued sketching in Cappadocia, Turkey but some switched to Istanbul which is about 400 miles away. I used one of my own photos that was taken when I visited there when Jerry and I took our cruise. I did a half-day tour of Istanbul and then left the group to do some wandering and sketching on my own rather than going back to the ship. In this photo I am standing near Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque which was part of the tour.
What a beautiful sketch! I missed the virtual event last Saturday. Never been to Cappadocia but have been to Istanbul in March 2015. Glad to have visited this secular country at that time.
