The minarets seem even taller than they are in reality. maybe you could use a photo programme take out the two wires (at least that's what I think they are). madness - May, 29 2006 09:05am Marianne, those wires should be there:)because in our holy fasting month,a lot of lamps are connected between that wires to form a meaningful sentence about fastening or something.. marianne - May, 29 2006 10:05am Burak, That's an interesting detail. I didn't know the lamps were connected with ramadan. Now I suddenly understand many photos I saw. Maybe you could post a photo with lamps and explain this.
