Firstly, Carmi's photo of vapour trails meant that I just had to post this one. I had woken early in my hotel room in Bursa, and drew the curtains to see this:
Istanbul is such a fabulous place - I would love to go back there some time. The narrow 'sea' that runs right through the middle of the city divides two continents; Europe is on the western side, Asia on the east. This was taken through a bus window while crossing one of the many bridges. I guess it counts as 'by land' ... ?
By ferry we crossed the Sea of Marmara to begin our two weeks of travelling around central and southern Turkey:
In Antalya, on the Turkish Mediterranean, I took a 'cruise' on the harbour. This shot shows part of the Old Port.
Lastly, another ferry shot - crossing the Dardanelles, on the way to Gallipoli and thence back to Istanbul:

Sunrise behind the trees.... very nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the first one of the chem trails... the silhouette of the trees in the background look like a veil.
ReplyDeleteVapour trails excellent; later even the gulls have taken to the air. Good mixture of land, sea and air.
