Does anyone even remember that song??
Istanbul is blowing my mind. It’s been a long time since a city did that.
Why am I here? A girl called Laura and a bike called Doris cycled 4,300+ km’s across Europe and so we decided to celebrate with a week in Istanbul. Angela and Elmar were also part of the crew. This made me so happy – worlds colliding.
Super proud of her.
I am so lucky to be able to spend a week in this incredible city. It is honestly one of the best cities I have been to. It is like nowhere I have been before. Sure, I am looking at it though tourist eyes and after awhile some of the ‘charming’ things may get a little annoying but for me it was fantastic.
It was an incredibly hard job choosing photos and I’m not sure I have been quite tough enough, but it is such a photographers dream place!
There were stunning ceramic lamps hanging from the ceiling of cafes where people would drink Turkish coffee or apple tea. Donor kebabs or hommus on every menu. Mosques everywhere, including the world famous ‘Blue’ Mosque and Hagia Sofia. There were whirling dervish shows and rooftop bars overlooking the Bosphorus.
And then there is the history.
Walking into the Hagia Sofia is literally breathtaking. Built in 537 it was originally a church then converted to a mosque. On the walls are verses from the Quaran as well as Christian iconography. Fascinating!
Istanbul, I love you!
I miss it already!
