A trip down the Bosphorus in Istanbul was so different! I say, in my Travel Diary
"“The trip was lovely - Italian renaissance houses, paladian palaces right on the water front.”
. Back at the hotel, we had lunch at a street restaurant - chicken and beef kebab and beans, cheese and salad and a Lebanese type bread. We waited for the travel agent to pick us up at 2pm. By 2.45 he hadn’t come so we grabbed a hair raising taxi ride to the bus depot and stopped the bus that was leaving at 3.05pm! “ Glad we took this photo.
What a lovely image! I visited Istanbul with two girl friends in September 2010 - I was just flicking back through my photos just now, thanks to your reminder. My memories of the city are fond, but looking back, my photos were far from brilliant!! I would do a better job today. :-)
Sounds like a wonderful and exciting day and I love the perspective of this photo. A place I probably will never get to visit except through your experience.
Yesterday’s photo is an optical illusion, the pier rises but horizon is straight ! I checked on a grid to make sure!
