SILHOUETTE. The proper definition of a silhouette is “the outline of a body viewed as circumscribing a mass.” In photography, often we achieve that effect by putting light behind the object whose silhouette we want to capture, effectively darkening out the features of the subject instead of highlighting them.
My silhouette is just makes the grade as one, even though some of the colour comes through. I was attracted to the foliage that from a distance took on a heart shape. (Hagia Sophia, Istanbul Turkey)
This post is part of the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge which I have not participated in prior to today but seems like a fun thing to do if I have the shot to fit!

Naomi! I knew you had been to Cappadocia lately but had no idea you were still in Turkey. I had commented on your post at the time but it flew into Spam. Enjoy enjoy as I know you will – the city of my heart!

Thank you! Today was our last day here–we went to a museum and the Spice Bazaar, and just enjoyed walking through the street watching people–and all the cats and dogs–on a slow quiet day. We leave before dawn, but will bring a little bit of Turkey home with us in our hearts.

It was the first time i did a Photo Challenge too. We all like silhouettes – they don’t require great camera skills, just being in the right place at the right time!
