Even when the weather is miserable you can feel something special in Istanbul.
Melancholy seems to belong to the Turkish world, a feeling that in the imperial city is especially palpable along its coast.
The Golden Horn is an estuary dividing the city of Istanbul. The famous Galata Bridge, busy night and day with fishermen, traffic and pedestrians, connect the area of Eminonu to Karakoi.
This picture was taken from Karakoi. Opposite, on the third hill of Istanbul is the Suleymanyie Mosque (cami in Turkish). A wonderful Ottoman monument ordered by Sultan Süleyman. It was finished to be build in 1558.
