... now that I've actually remembered that I have a blog and need to keep updating it (times does fly), here are some pictures of the big, bold, beautiful phenomenon of a city that is Istanbul, which I visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
Cooking sizzling mackerel sandwiches near the New Mosque
A mix of east and west, at a frantic pace
Relatives of the Kurdish disappeared protest on Istiklal Caddesi
Seagulls circling over the Blue Mosque at night
Inside Haggia Sofia
I spotted a father playing with his young daughter on the floor inside the prayer area at Suleymaniye Mosque
At the Istanbul Pride march
At the Grand Bazaar...
... and the Spice Bazaar
and an obligatory Bosphorus shot
Another obligatory picture... but its difficult to imagine how any photograph could do justice to that skyline
