This is the "Blue Mosque." I spent many Saturdays sitting in the court yard doing this drawing. People would sit quitly next to me and watch and sometimes talk. I remember I one man - he invited me to stay in his family's apartment in Ankara. He wrote his name and address there on the back of my notebook. His name was Necati.
I put a little X in pencil (easily washed away) on the exact stone where I would sit and would come back to to continue the drawing. I liked coming back and finding that little marked - mostly rubbed away week after week.
