A very strong and captivating wooden elevator. The viewer gets the sense that once in this thing they will go up to Heaven

This is so beautiful and I love all the rich, rich wood that you have captured.
Great clarity and DOF.
The drapes look heavy and velvet, and painting on the wall looks very expensive.
It is just so very exquisite.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A wonderful picture of this historical Hotel Lift in the Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul
(would it have been called Constantinople when it was installed?) It looks so much more beautiful & elegant than the modern variety. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

you're right: the city was named Istanbul in 1923
