istanbul people



Istanbul People

Saluting (me!) - Istiklal Caddesi

Staring out of her window - Fener

Drumming at T�nel

(I loved this. Everyone gathered around Tunel would basically get

together and join in a huge drum fest. And the somehow the music

always sounded great.)

Little Princes - Ey�p

(The Ey�p Mosque is the third most holy Islamic site in the world.

Little boys dressed up - in most amusing costumes, with belts reading

"Mashallah!", smothered by their mother, grandmothers, aunts, what

have you come here before heading off for their circumcisions. Aged 9

or 10. Ouch.)

Making music - T�nel

Selling beads - Beyoglu

People, I had the most wonderful picture of this wonderful old man at

a nargile cafe at Tophane blowing out billows of smoke....I loved that

picture...and was trying to rotate it to vertical on Windows picture

viewer. It rotated, but the photo turned completely blank white.

WTF!!!! Can anyone tell me wtf happened?? This trip has been screwed

up picture wise. I am most upset. Bloody hell.
