CITY OF MINARETS AND DOMES.... A GREAT WAY TO FEEL ISTANBUL, DO WHAT A TURKISH POET ORHAN VELI KANIK(1914-1950) SAYS
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
At first there blows a gentle breeze
And the leaves on the trees
Softly flutter or sway;
Out there, far away,
The bells of water carriers incessantly ring;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed. |

Beautiful photos and detail - hope to see it all one day - but, especially Topkapi as I heard of it long ago. Ciao, Carol <(•¿•)> | Nemorino Tue Aug 25, 2009 13:44 UTC
I was surprised to learn that the Pera Museum has a piano that was once owned by Maria Callas. There is certainly a lot to see in Istanbul! I went up in a balloon once in Paris, and had a great view. | BruceDunning Mon Aug 3, 2009 22:15 UTC
I have a strong desire to take in the culture for this fine city-but when we can get there is unknown. Thank you for the tips and pictures to enjoy. | tzuki Sat Apr 18, 2009 18:46 UTC
