Der historische Galataturm und Galatabrücke in Istanbul.. İstanbul’un simgelerinden Galata Kulesi ve Galata Köprüsü.
Istanbul‘s Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı, built 1664), at the southern end of the Galata Bridge near the Eminönü ferry docks, is filled with the fragrance of the exotic East. Spices, dried fruits, cheeses, sausages, jams, nuts and seeds, lokum (Turkish Delight) and other edibles fill most of the shops, though jewelry and other high-margin goods have begun to move in.

Istanbul is a vast place. There are very conservative neighbourhoods, there are places that are upper class, Westernised, consuming Western culture.

Mezquita Azul
La mezquita Azul o mezquita del Sultán Ahmed es una de las grandes mezquitas de Estambul, obra de Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, discípulo del arquitecto Sinan. Está situada frente a la iglesia de Santa Sofía, separadas ambas por un jardín, y fue la única de la ciudad con seis alminares hasta la construcción de la Mezquita de Çamlıca, inaugurada en 2016.
Su magnífico exterior es acorde con su suntuoso interior, en el que una verdadera sinfonía de bellísimos mosaicos azules de Iznik logran una atmósfera muy especial.
I walked on this new suspension bridge a zillion times, and on the day I realized it made shooting this juxtaposition possible, of course there had to be haze. Anyway the New Mosque is in the front Hagia Sophia at the back. (The New Mosque is from the 17th century. Perhaps if we keep calling the new bridge 'The New Bridge' the name will stick and last that long.)
