Field Recording 0001: Call to Prayer Turkey jul 2012

Walking around on a recent trip to Turkey I happened to be passing a mosque when the Adhan or call to prayer began.
I'd been wanting to capture this sound as a field recording and I managed to get a decent clip. It was outside a mosque in the tourist town of Marmaris.
My ideal would be to get a field recording in a larger urban environment when the sound of hundreds of mosques calling out at the same time gives rise to an almost unreal layering of sound that is unique to Muslim countries.
