Ebru, Turkish Water Painting, Part 2

Here's the last bit of the women squeezing out the water, rinsing the silk and hanging it to dry. The last shot is of a pair of fancy shoes from the Ottoman days. They'd be worn in the hamam, or bath house, to keep your feet off the cold and slippery marble. Speaking of which, the sidewalks here are crazy slippery, especially given the hilly nature of the city. We've had some near wipe-outs. You have to be careful and go slowly.
