Evening at Galata bridge, Istanbul, Turkey
For the last few days I have been in Istanbul, Turkey. It was my first time there, and it made quite an impression on me. Between all the chaos and hustle bustle of daily life -Istanbul is ranked as the fifth largest city proper in the world- are many architectural gems, including the wonderful Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. But the part of Istanbul which I liked most was the Galata bridge area. This bridge, which spans the Golden Horn, is an inspirational source to many artists and has featured in literature, theater, poetry and novels. Well-known in The Netherlands is the book of Dutch author Geert Mak about the Galata bridge ("The Bridge. A Journey Between Orient and Occident"). It is not difficult to see why the Galata bridge has been such a favourite subject for so many: simply standing on this bridge at sunset and by taking in the atmosphere around you is bound to provide an immense source of inspiration!
Note: I will view the streams of my contacts again this evening!
