Cappadocia - a Monastery

I'm in love with suzanis

Suzani, suzane, is the decoratively embroidered panel either on a white or color cotton fabric or silk, widespread among the people of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. They are a part of bride’s obligatory dowry. Traditionally the embroidery started at a birth of the daughter and continued till the bride’s dowry. Their separate patterns in people’s designs have magical characters, and served for a young couple as a talisman against the evil spirits that could harm. 

One day I saw this in Istanbul, Turkey

A Heartbreaker....

Sometimes
the end of the roll
comes sooner than you expect...
which is a shame
because then the moment passes
and never comes back again.
*sigh*
