Wedding Palace, a photo from Ahal, West

Photographer's Note

The Wedding Palace, also called the Palace of Happiness in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. In the foreground the pool of our hotel.

In the dice-shaped building, husband and wife adore marriage. Six Turkmen stars build a cage for the earth in the center.

Hello Achim,
Good to see you back again on TE. Fine point of view on this rather curious building where people get married. The furled parasols and the lamps together make an excellent lead-line. Agreeable lights and colours and some lovely reflections in the pool. Sharpness is excellent.

Hi Achim,

The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the wedding palace. The good luminosity is enhancing the colours. Have a nice day.

Bonjour, cher Achim,
Voilà une composition très intéressante et bien mise en vedette. L'architecture n'est pas banale, c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire.
Un lieu très agréable.
Amitiés.

Hello Achim, Nice to see you again and from the rarely visited place. Very original composition, weird looking building of Palace of Happiness (haha), the swimming pools and curious lamps? Strange but beautiful capture.

Hello Achim,

The 4 eight pointed star sculptures encircling the global sphere add interest here. Good sharpness and the guys lounging around the pool provide scale. Nice repetition of the umbrellas and the robot like bg posts doing aerobics! Tfs!
