Now for Istanbul

The Blue Mosque
Hagia Sofia

Fixer-Upper on the Golden Horn, anyone?


Fortress, I forget the name, protecting the Golden Horn


Couldn't resist at least one rose for you ladies

Galata Tower from Topkapki Palace
Home Depot, Turkish style

From Galata Tower, looking toward Galata bridge, Sultanhamet District, Blue Mosque on the left


Basilica Cistern, Roman water storage system


Metropolitan Istanbul, Galalta Tower on the left, Galata bridge on the right

And from here, I head west to Sofia, Bulgaria, then Athens. I had a hard time culling down to 10 photos of Istanbul. Can't imagine how many I'll post from Athens, and places in Italy and Switzerland. I didn't do justice to some of the earlier stops, either. Now that I have this uploading down pat (joke!!!) you can expect to see more on the places I've already covered. But first, finish the trip.
