What guided this image
Landmarks
Gaziantep Castle; Bey; Coppersmiths' Bazaar; Kurtuluş Mosque; Alleben Deresi; Antep; lush southeastern Anatolian flora
Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the city from Alleben Park or the foot of the hill toward Gaziantep Castle, showing willow branches and stone lane pavers in the foreground, the historic limestone mansions, copper workshops, and castle hill in the middle-ground, and the massive stone bastions of the fortress crowning the summit against the soft sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick canopies of weeping willows along Alleben Park, pistachio and olive orchards on the hillsides, and pine trees around the citadel.
