Photo of the Day - "Old Man in the Old City"

A few days ago, I was walking around and photographing the Turkish Cypriot community of the Old City before the shops were open and while the sky was overcast. This old man stopped me and motioned that I should take a portrait of him as he walked between me and the Bedestan, which underwent a series of alterations between its original construction in the 12th century and the most recent renovation that was completed last year. The face and stature of this old man, like the facade of the building behind him, tells a story of the rich layers of history that each has endured.
