Kedi

Kedi, Turkish for cat. Trying to stay off the dirt.
 

Orient

Shopping for caviar and spices at the Egyptian Bazaar in Istanbul, 3 weeks ago. No, I didn't buy caviar...

More b&w right... here.
 And more weekend street reflections here.

Dogs allowed

... on public ferries in Istanbul.
 

Inviting

A local shopping mall along a canal had the brilliant idea to put a few dozens deckchairs on the waterside.
 

Orange and green

Windows on a traditional alsatian house. Probably 17th of 18th century building, nicely restored.
 

Green Garden Yusuf

A Turkish çay, please! More Monday murals here.
 

Too much sun? Need sunglasses?

Do dogs need glasses??? 2 very different mural styles on the same wall, curious.

More Monday murals right... here.
 

Knock knock

Meow

Of course, there had to be a cat museum/print studio/art gallery/gift shop in Istanbul......LOL

More b&w for your weekend right... here. Have a meowtiful weekend, ya all!
 

June CDP theme day: smile

Should I laugh or should smile??? I'll sleep over it. 

Many more smiles here.
 

Feeling amused

I came upon this poster, advertising a big music festival, 150 km south. Feeling amused... The names of some of these bands sound pretty silly (to me, anyway): Dinos, Coach party, Dry Cleaning, Yard Act, Baby Volcano, Joe Unknown, Kids Return, Pertubator, Big Bertha, Unknown T... I know only a few of them (but none of the quoted ones), guess I'm stuck with oldies, lol. Wondering if the Shygirl is really shy... LOL

Feeling hungry?

Yummy tooth breaking calorie bombs. I just took the photo... .
 

A Monday mural

Seen in Istanbul, a few days ago. A bar or a nightclub, closed when I passed it in the Beyoglu area.

More Monday murals right... here
 

The Genoese Galata Tower

Up a steep hill, but worth the climb... There was a Genoese (from the Italian city of Genova/Genoa) colony in Constantinople (old name of Istanbul) from 1267 till 1453. Marco Polo's merchant father, Niccolo, lived here with his brother Maffeo in 1260. More about the tower here.
 

Speeding, almost unnoticed...

 More weekend reflections right... here.

Weekend in black and white

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

Neighborhood watch

Hey you, got some treats?
 

Yeah, I know...

I'll shave tonight, after the shower. Maybe.
