Purple Sunday - Color Challenge - Erbil, Iraq

in #colorchallenge7 years ago

Yes, you read that right. Iraq. For today's submission to @kalemandra's #ColorChallenge, I'm in Erbil, the de facto capital of the autonomous region of Kurdistan.

This photo was taken in the square at the foot of the Erbil citadel, which is the world's oldest continuously inhabited urban development. A vibrant area full of locals, expats and tourists, I captured this stunning sunset when I stopped for a cup of tea. Yes, I know it's not exactly purple, but it's the closest thing I had in my collection!
If you would like to read about my experiences travelling in Iraq, I'll be sharing them in the coming months, so make sure to follow my blog!
