Our first full day in Istanbul took us to the Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Rustem Pasha Mosque, the Spice Market, and a cruise on the Bosphorus. Plus a break for lunch along with walking in the old town area. A great start to the trip! This image was taken just outside the Suleiman Mosque. I was lucky she walked by at just the right time.
Apologies in advance as I hope to post each day on the trip, and know that (a) it's unlikely and (b) I won't be able to comment much during the trip.
The big mosques are beautiful. Loved Istanbul when I was there many years ago, however I can't remember anyone dressed like that in the time. Beautiful photograph.
