Some very nice and sometimes weird buildings along the Bosphorus straight, both in Europe and Asia. More b&w right... here.

Well, that's me on the Big Island, or Buyukada in Turkish, on the Sea of Marmara, last week.
More weekend street reflections right... here.

Siyah Beyaz Türk Hafta Sonu, aka Turkish weekend in black and white
So, friends, I went back to Istanbul last week, after too many years. A city full of marvels! This here is a view inside my long time favorite mosque there, the Yeni Camii, or new mosque. New being relative, as it was completed in 1665... Anyway, more b&w here, as usual.
Oh well, for once, I'll put the color version as well! My blog, my choice, LOL.

Gate to the Orient
The old Sirkeci railway station in Istanbul, where the Orient Express arrived from Paris, 3098 km in 80 hours. Now just a station on the Marmaray underground line, with many cats. More about the station here. From there, you take a short ferry ride to the Haydarpasa station on the asian side of Istanbul, and from there, take a train to Tehran or Baghdad. Not anymore, unfortunately.
