Contrasts, Istanbul is full of them Day 196

A bit of explanation for those who need it - muslims, before entering a mosque for prayer perform a ritual cleansing. This photo shows 3 parts of a fountain, 1st used by a man getting ready for prayer (hopeful person), one empty, one occupied by a desperate person. I liked the contrast. Later on I realized (I've returned to that place several times) that he's actually homeless. Hence the desperation. I hope all goes well for him. Good luck unknown person!
