At Aladdin's capital city, Konya. When I increase the exposure time to only 1.6 seconds, everything of today's disappear. Traffic of cars, people, busses, trucks pass like particles in Large Hadron Collider. All we can see is their light tracks on the picture. Far away Aladdin's Mosque and tomb stand still on a longer time scale of 800 years. However there are only ruins of the older mosque made of earth and wood, protected now under a modern arched dome.
