Greg Davis > - Ablution Fountains at the Blue Mosque - The city of Istanbul is tattooed with relics and architecture from the days of conquering empires. Greek, Ottoman and Byzantine structures carpet the hills of the city. Most notably, jutting skyward across the reach of the horizon, are the spires of the local mosques. Located at Istanbul’s heart is the undeniably magnificent Blue Mosque with its six towering spires. The Blue Mosque is one of the most famous religious buildings in the world, built between 1609 and 1616 by Mehmet Aga, the imperial architect for Sultan Ahmet I. The splendor of the plans provoked great hostility at the time, since a mosque with six spires was considered to be a sacrilegious attempt to rival the architecture of Mecca itself. The external walls of the Blue Mosque are lined with ablution fountains for worshippers to ritually cleanse themselves before entering the mosque for prayer. It was here that I captured the man in the photo. "Bismillahi arrahmani ar-rahimi".
Greg Davis > - Gokova, Turkey – The waters of Turkey drift over tales silenced by the flow of time. The history of Turkey runs deep and wide. Shimmering with hopes, fears, conquests and defeats, the waters of Turkey reflect the beauty of its past. In Turkey, it is argued that there are better Roman ruins than in Rome and better Greek ruins than in Greece. The nectar of the Gokova region, located along the banks of the Gulf of Gokova, bestowed life upon the Ottoman Empire. For from its water was born Ertugrul Gazi, father of Osman and Orhan, leaders of the Ottoman Empire.
Greg Davis > - The Bayon at the Temples of Angkor - Outside Siem Reap, Cambodia lies one of man’s most astonishing and enduring architectural creations, the Temples of Angkor. Early one morning I awoke, felt a call, and made my way out to the main gate of the most recognizable temple at the Temples of Angkor complex, Angkor Wat. It was 5am. As I made my way over the eight hundred-year old cobblestone bridge that spanned the moat, I began to get a sense of what Angkor Wat must have meant to those who lived during it’s days of grandeur. It is powerful. I made my way through it’s protective walls and into the main courtyard. The moonlight from behind the complex painted a perfect silhouette of the main temple. Glancing up into the cool, crisp blackness, it was there that I witnessed my brightest night. The stars were like diamonds, dancing to the faint sounds of life beginning to awaken around me. The Big Dipper shown bright in the northern skies and the southern Cross mirrored it’s position from the south. As made my way closer, feeling it’s pull, my head in a cloud, my mind clear of worry, it was then that I was given a gift from the heavens. As beautiful a picture that I was experiencing at that moment, only a shooting star perfectly placed directly over the center of the main temple could finish the masterpiece, and indeed it was. As if God himself placed it there for me; I shall never forget.
Greg Davis > ~ Dancing Over the Edge ~ I've never seen a more beautiful site than the waters of Iguazu tumbling over it's edge and disappearing through the rainbows into the mist below. Iguazu Falls ,located on the border of Argentina and Brazil, is one of South America's most prized natural attractions. It is over two miles wide and contains two hundred and seventy five individual cascades. Flying into the region, you will see the mist of the falls towering over the jungle canopy. Taller than Niagara Falls at two hundred and sixty nine feet, it's rate of flow can reach four hundred and fifty thousand cubic feet per second during the rainy season. Iguazu is home to two hundred and fifty species of butterfly. Wild orchids grow next to pines, bamboos next to palm trees, and mosses next to colorful begonias; contrasts are abundant. Go and sense the falls in all five ways. It is a garden of Eden.
