Hagia Sophia, Istanbul – 19.10.2023
 

This photograph of a seagull soaring high above the Hagia Sophia taken last October on our visit to Istanbul is in response to my dear friend Tina’s Lens-Artists Challenge #281 – Favourite Images of 2023, and is in follow up to my New Year’s post as a visual expression of the desperate need for peace for all those women, men and especially children whose suffering and despair breaks all of our hearts each and every day.
