A Photo Exploration Of Istanbul Turkey
Exploring Off The Beaten Path In Istanbul
It is always a fun adventure to leave the main city streets and attractions to discover the side streets and byways. Discover Istanbul from the eyes of the locals. Explore the small shops and the cobblestone walkways, while traveling the less traveled areas where the tourists gather.
The Bridges Provide A Gathering Spot For Locals Who Just Want To Fish
While Istanbul has many open markets and fish markets, there are times when you just want to catch your own fresh fish for dinner. Here you see the locals gathering on a bridge to fish. What an awesome experience for those who like to fish for dinner.
Baroque Clock Tower In Front Of Dolmabahce Palace
Baroque Clock Tower was the brain child of Sultan Abdul Hamid II who lived in the late 1800's and early 1900's. It was designed and built by Architect Sarkis Balyan. The project was completed in 1895. The clock stands 89 feet tall in the front of the Treasury Gate Square near by the Dolmabahce Mosque. While the tower is in the "Neo-Baroque" architectural style, the face of the clock has elegant "Eastern Arabic Numerals."

Your welcome @eric-boucher. Glad you enjoyed.
Beautiful night photos! Photographing at night is not easy, but the photos are brighter and more saturated than in the daytime. As if you are getting into a fairy tale, mysterious and beautiful. Bravo to the author!
Thank you @mashla.
Travelling is such a wonderful thing in life! I just love how there's 195 countries in the world and every single one, has some new food, culture, or monument to observe and experience. Travelling will always be filled with wonder and amazment, and never will be stale and uneventful because there are just so many things around the world that we still haven't seen.
