Bar Window

It's a cafe-bar's window.

I found it real warm and cozy.

Inviting.

I took this photo almost 2 months ago, when it was still cold.

Now, all tables are outside and it is serving as an outdoor bar...

People are having beer...

Anyone?

Prayer Beads ( Tasbeeh )

This shop offers prayer beads only.

They are in all kind of shape and material. Stone, wood, seeds,

shells, bones....

It helps to track how many prays have been said in one session.

I like turquoise tasbeehs most...

Street Food

I know, this looks wild....

There is rice and boiled chickpeas, with a touch of pitted chicken :)

And after you eat it, if you get thirsty , you get a glass ( or

plastic cup ) of water...

I have never tried this. I guess I was never brave enough :)

An Old Man in Town

He was sitting there, at one of the biggest squares of Istanbul, with

his bag next to him.

Most likely, just arrived from a long ride from one of the Anatolian

villages

to see his grandchildren.

He is waiting for his son, to pick him up.

Just a guess:)

100'th Post

Being a member of the Daily City Photo family, changed a lot of things

in my life...

I started to go out, browse the city ,

I photographed almost everything, and not only Ollie girl,

I see things from a different view now...

I visited all your blogs all over the world,

Felt in love with cities, that I did not know before,
