Istanbul

by leffe3 - last update: Dec 26, 2004

A city of contrasts is the only way to describe Istanbul. The historic Ottoman, the Crusader influence (picture is of the Fortress of Europe, Rumeli Hisari to the north of the city overlooking the Bospherous), 19th century Europe and modern-day Asia all contribute to a cadence of fascination. I keep going back.
