Istanbul: I didn't like it, I felt in love with it. Its unique character, its light, its wonderful skyline … its atmosphere unlike any other city that I have visited. A city of history, capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. A place where Asia meets Europe, where the tradition of an ancient city meets the western way of life. A city of extremes and contrasts. A land where the legendary Bosporus merges with the Golden Horn and links the black sea and the Mediterranean sea through the sea of Marmara with indescribable magic. I only spent eight days there visiting its main sites and walking around its different areas. I could have wandered its streets endlessly, looking to capture its everyday life through its timeless atmosphere. No doubt one of the greatest places on earth. I will be back in Istanbul as soon as possible as I want to further explore its history, its culture and to meet its people.
I will create a feature in the documentary section of my website in the near future. Check my blog. I am going to show more photos of the great city of Istanbul in the next few days.
