Turkey, Van Province, Castle By Moonlight, 2009, IMG 2263
Moonlight is Sunlight ... Turkey, Van Province, Hosap Castle by Moonlight, 2009 – Also known as Güzelsu Van. It is a large medieval castle in the village of Hoşap. I made an effort to photograph every province in Turkey, completed in 2012. My journal from December 3, 2009 read….We came to the town of Hosap. The castle there took us quite by surprise. It was barely visible in the darkness but clearly beautiful, perched on a rocky hill. I drove till I got a good vista of the castle. I got out in the freezing temperatures and walked a bit up the slope. I managed, using the moonlight, to get a surprisingly good image. This was sort of revelatory for me. The image that came out looked almost like daylight. I realized then that moonlight is actually sunlight reflected off of the moon, which explains why photographs taken at night can appear to be taken during the day, if taken by moonlight! Moonlight is sunlight!!
