Countryside

The countryside was wonderful..Green lush and dotted with little villages. This was after the city of Istanbul which was huge. No green just hills and hills of buildings. I suppose with 18 million people they need space to live somewhere. Anyway there were lots of these villages in the countryside. You would see them in the distance with the mosque tower standing out from everything else. I know we have churches in the West but they don’t appear to have the same visual prominence
