    Photos from Turkey

    There are [5] photos from Turkey

    Coming out of the subway at the most famous Eminounu plaza (opposite the Bosphorus banks). This subway is most frequently used by people. The bird above the mosque just caught my eye, which had been hovering around for sometime. There was some striking relation between the women clad in burkha and the bird. Views[285] Kids at the mosque. In Istanbul, the mosques are not only place for worship but a place for relief, for rituals, for peace. I encountered these kids attending some ritual for the boy kid. I was intrigued with the way these kids were dressed up like kings and queens. The kids looked oblivious, not so interested in their ritual being performed. I imagined that they were all engrossed in their own imaginative world. Views[375] Bosphorus cruise is not only enjoyed by overseas tourists like me, but also the locals. They find their moments of love and relief from the daily humdrum of life. I caught this beautiful couple indulged in the most beautiful expression of love. Views[274] This picture was taken near one of the iskelasi (harbor) on the Bosphorus. It seemed that the women had just finished their office and were just having a moment of relief before heading for their respective homes. The fun of the picture is that the phone clicking the picture of the other women could even have been a mirror. The women were equally beautiful and clad in exactly the same way. Views[244] Besiktas is a plaza along the Boshorus where people eat the famous fish sandwiches with the pickeled vegetables. The family of mother, kid and an aunt I guess, had just finished a meal while sitting on the steps on the side of the plaza. The kid was asking his mother to buy some more!! Mother is carrying something, which shows that they have just come from a mosque after attending a ritual. Views[255]
