Persongalleriet #394: Following Alphan's Advice
Istanbul, April 11th 2015.
On the previous day, Turkish Street Photography wizard Alphan Yilmazmaden and I went for a glorious 9 hour photo walk together through the streets of Istanbul. As I reported yesterday and a couple of days earlier. On the day after, I followed all of the tips Alphan had given me for the day. But my body was protesting, since I hadn't gotten much sleep.
At about midnight a fire started right outside my hotel and we weren't allowed back in our rooms until 2 am. And yes, that's my room right above those AC units, to the right.
First I went to the Sultanahmet mosque.
Afterwards, I went down the hill to the northwest.
At least part of that area is a downright slum, like this half-torn-down building with people still living in it. I'm told many of the people there are Syrian refugees.
There was a neighborhood market this Saturday.
I went on through Eminönu to Karaköy to follow Alphan's foodie advice.
First I went for the Dürüm mackerel sandwiches at the Karaköy fish market. So incredibly spicy and good that I couldn't help myself from eating two! :-)
And then I went on to the "best baklava in Istanbul". Some çay with that. Yummy!
What a day! Thanks Alphan for all the great tips!

Ja, den hade jag kunnat vara utan!

Gillar bilderna!
Ha det fint!
Det luktade en del och sved en aning i ögonen ett tag, men jag kan inte upptäcka någon kvarvarande effekt så här några dagar senare.
Tack! Ha det gott!
