The Grand Bazaar
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is an amazing panoply of wares. There are fabrics, lamps, and jewelry to be discovered by wandering a great maze of corridors. The brightly
colored spices create visual patterns. The folded stacks of pashmas create patterns.
And, most famously, the Turkish rugs rival any pattern design ever made.
To travel through Turkey is like entering a world of pattern making.
