Thanks. The little island is called Leandros' Tower. It dates from the Byzantine period.Otumay
Nice harbor and Mosque shots.
In the second shot, what is that little Island?
Thanks for the encouragement!Great shots! The GRD2 certainly produces some nice tonality for B&W.
Good question: I live on the European side, and Scutari is on the Asian side. I agree, I'm lucky to live here (though I travel a lot).Istanbul is the most wondeful city: but which is the other side of the Bosphorus you refer to?
We've been there three times so far, always enjoyed it a lot! But never explored the Asian side - the bus took us over the bridge once, but we didn't stop. I rather fancy living in a yali, though. And the food!Good question: I live on the European side, and Scutari is on the Asian side. I agree, I'm lucky to live here (though I travel a lot).

Aside from residential areas, the Asian side also boasts some very important historical sites, of which Scutari (Uskudar) is a good example. Living in a yali (a mansion on the Bosphorus) is indeed a dream. As for the food, well, it may suffice to say that I'm on a constant diet just to keep my weight constant!We've been there three times so far, always enjoyed it a lot!

Why would you want to diet on turkish food? I'm feeling hungry just thinking about it!As for the food, well, it may suffice to say that I'm on a constant diet just to keep my weight constant!
Thank you very much. I, too, prefer to see buildings in a proper perspective. That is why I still use my Kodak SLR/n, as it was the only full-frame digital camera for Nikon F-mount lenses until Nikon D3 came up. I must have a zillion shots of the wonderful historical places in my city. To tell the truth, I never took these small sensors seriously until I met Ricoh GR-DII.I just keep being drawn back to #1 and the wonderful black and white tones. I would like to see it corrected for perspective, but that is just me. Beautiful work.:thumbup:I hope that you post more.
