  • Konya, Turkey 20 September 2008.Uzeyir Ozyurt, a dervish of the Mevlevi Order, poses for the photographer in his house of Konya, Turkey..Sufism is a mystical tradition of Islam. .Also considered as a spiritual and ascetic movement of Islam with esoteric doctrines appeared during the VIII century. The Muslim Sufis are people who privilege internalization, the love of god, contemplation and wisdom. A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a Sufi, another name used for the Sufi seeker is ?dervish?. The Sufi movement has spanned several continents and cultures over a millennium, at first expressed through Arabic, then through Persian, Turkish, and a dozen other languages. Sufi orders, most of which are Sunni in doctrine, trace their origins from the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, through his cousin Ali or his father-in-law Abu Bakr..According to some modern proponents, the Sufi philosophy is universal in nature and its roots predate the arising of the modern-day religions. .The whirling dance or Sufi whirling that is associated with dervishes, is the practice of the Mevlevi Order in Turkey, and is just one of the physical methods used to try and reach religious ecstasy..Condemned by traditional Islam, the Sufism cultivates the mystery; the idea being that Muhammad would have received at the same time the Koran and esoteric revelations..Photo: EZEQUIEL SCAGNETTI ©.www.ezequiel-scagnetti.com

They are also used in special Regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers.<br /> The Venetian Lagoon is the enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea in which the city of Venice is situated. Its name in the Venetian language, Laguna Veneta - cognate of Latin lacus, "lake" - has provided the international name for an enclosed, shallow embayment of saltwater, a lagoon<br /> PHOTO: EZEQUIEL SCAGNETTI

  • Istanbul, Turkey 18 February 2008 - View of a snow-covered Blue Mosque, Istanbul. The Blue Mosque was built from 1610-1619 under Sultan Ahmed I. beside the Hagia Sophia on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, separated only by a small park. With the unusual number of six minarets and a great cascade of domes and semi-domes, which billow heavenward towards the mosque's great dome, the Blue Mosque is a worthy pendant to the Hagia Sophia. The interior is of great beauty and grandeur and surprises with its bright atmosphere. Numerous stained glass windows as well as domes and semi-domes surrounding the main dome create a charming play of light and give the walls an amazing transparency. The walls are decorated with an abundance of marvellous tiles and precious materials, its name however the Blue Mosque didn't get because of the blue tiles but because of the elaborate painted decors. Istanbul, historically Byzantium and later Constantinople, is Turkey's most populous city , and its cultural and financial center. .Photo: EZEQUIEL SCAGNETTI / PHOTOSHELTER

  • Stone Town, Zanzibar 03 November 2010<br /> Sea view on the coast of Stone Town. Stone Town or Mji Mkongwe, in Swahili meaning "ancient town", is the old part of Zanzibar City, the capital of the island of Unguja, informally known as Zanzibar, part of Tanzania. The town was the centre of trade on the East African coast between Asia and Africa before the colonization of the mainland in the late 19th century after which the focus moved to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam. From 1840 to 1856, Said bin Sultan had the capital of the Omani Empire in Stone Town. The main export was spices and particularly cloves. For many years Stone Town was a major centre for the slave trade; slaves were obtained from mainland Africa and traded with the Middle East. The town also became a base for many European explorers, particularly the Portuguese, and colonizers from the late 19th century. David Livingstone used Stone Town as his base for preparing for his final expedition in 1866. A house, now bearing his name, was lent by Sultan Seyyid Said. Immigrant communities from Oman, Persia and India lived here. <br /> Photo: Ezequiel Scagnetti
