Daily Prompt: Selfie with Mr. Ataturk

Inside Ataturk Mausoleum located in Ankara, Turkey, I took a shot of my shadow right in front of his tomb. My companions were outside the building at the time. Since I found the vignette kind of artistic, with roses positioned beside it, I took several shots of myself.

These schoolchildren who came ahead of me brought flowers for their hero.

But as this child couldn’t go near Ataturk’s tomb, she preferred instead to throw the flower to get nearer the hero.

This is where the tomb of Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Turkish Republic is placed and treated with so much reverence by its people.
