The Kiz Kulesi, Leander Tower or the Girls Tower is a tower on a small island in the Bosporus, clearly visible from various neighborhoods in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
According to legend, the tower would have been built by an Ottoman sultan who had his daughter imprisoned. It was predicted that the daughter would die on her 18th birthday, and the sultan thought she would be safe in the tower. Yet the princess died as predicted on her 18th birthday, due to a snake bite. The snake had hidden in a basket of fruit that the sultan had his daughter bring on her birthday.
The mosque in the background is the Süleymaniye mosque in the old city of Istanbul.
The photo was taken just after sunset, which is why the sky still has a nice blue color.
My photography specialities are landscapes and cityscapes. Through post-processing, I try to make the photos look as realistic as possible: as I saw and felt the situation at the moment, I try to convey this in the final result. As this is sometimes impossible due to camera or lens limitations, post-processing helps me out. Furthermore, I am not a professional, I cannot be hired (yet), nor have I followed any photography studies or courses. A practised hobbyist, I call myself. Practised because I have now had my camera since May 2009, which I really started to use actively a year later (page on Flickr, reading up on theory, etc.). Before that, I was still using it as a point-and-shoot camera, just like the ones I had before. I developed myself I think by reading and trying a lot. I never took any courses or the like, I taught myself everything by learning from others. I hope you like my works! Enjoy watching (you can also do so on my more extensive photostream on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/stephanneven)!!!
