The Galata Bridge in Istanbul is symbolic of the link between the traditional old city of Istanbul and neighborhoods to the east that are largely non-Muslim. The bridge spans the Golden Horn (the primary inlet of the Bosphorus) and has been rebuilt five times. These are some of the sites I saw on either side of the bridge and on the bridge itself.
I believe we were headed towards Takism Square here…
I’m also a collector of street graffiti “art”!
Nice view of the Bosphorus…

The fishing must be excellent!
Pigeon love (except for their poo-poo)
Istanbul is a city that would take a year or more to fully explore!
I love street art too!! Have you ever been to Bushwick in NYC? Really amazing neighborhood with an outstanding and inspiring story. Murals are part of the transformation. Thanks for your beautiful images of Turkey!

I don’t believe I visited that area a few years ago when I went to NYC for the first time. Sounds amazing!

What a crowd, fishing from the bridge. I would hate to be so crowded when I’m fishing.

I think because you and I live on some land, we’re getting used to quiet and peacefulness (more than someone who lives even in a suburb with neighbors all around). I also don’t like to be crowded…like my space!

Exactly! City people feel differently about this.
