Red Bosphorus

Taken and saved for the pun on Red Phosphorus. However, that doesn't excuse posting it :)

Taken last year. Ships in the Bosphorus, Istanbul, Turkey.

That's an impressive sight. Plenty of red, for sure!

Wow, so many ships, all nicely lined up with the tide I assume.

This is really striking.

@sketch2 @vera365 Thanks.
@dibzgreasley Tide, current and wind all determine how a ship lays at anchor. I've never seen 180 degree heading differences from ones so close. Maybe they anchor by the stern for better breeze in the living areas.

Not very often a person gets to see such an impressive boat parking lot.

@bette True. Usually it takes a dock workers strike :)
