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.

Decisions...
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), the shop was closed when I passed it. Which one would choose, if any?

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.

Not to his liking
Our local boy, Jean-Baptiste Kléber, a general, hero of Napoleon Bonaparte's little trip to Egypt, doesn't seem to like the twice weekly market on the square named after him... Maybe it's the dresses...

April theme day: my favorite toy
OK, this needs explaining. I've found this... prehistoric looking toad somewhere in Croatia. If you pull out the stick and rub it on the back, it sounds vaguely like halfway between a frog and a toad. My anti-stress toy. This is not a joke, lol! Or is it?
More about this theme day here.
