Tourist vs local behaviour Day 132

I could not resist :) The real life of Istanbul... Taken from the same point (little park in front of the Blue mosque). The top pic shows partial view of Aghia Sofia/Hagia Sophia/Aya Sofya. The bottom shows (apart from the obvious hehehe) a partial view of the exterior courtyard walls of the Blue Mosque.

Street scene, reflected Day 131

Eminönü district, few min away from Blue Mosque, Aghia Sofia, Grand Bazaar... The real life. Shopkeepers tend to like to sit outdoors.

Peace within oneself, with the Creator and with all the creation Day 130

Actual quote from www.muhammad.net (had no idea a site like this exists, I bumped into it when searching for a title). The quote seemed fitting.

4 houses, 4 colours, Istanbul style, Turkish flag...

All the world's a stage Day 128

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts, /.../"

Actually: early evening in Istanbul at the bus stop. SOOC + cropped off the lower tree crown because it was a distraction.

A house carried along Day 127
