in #photography7 years ago

Hi people,

I would like to share some pictures I took during my trip to Istanbul.

Stunning Istanbul. With one foot in the East and the other in the West, Istanbul bears withness to a glorious past, a troubled present, and a future full of hope. During my time there, I captured some of its most iconic symbols, exploring its colourful streets, the delicious food it offers, while chatting to its hospitable peoples. A truly enriching experience, where history meets contemporary culture.

These series of photos are not comprehensive of the cultural wealth of Istanbul, but nevertheless, they portray moments in the life and daily routine of the people who live there.

Many believes, many cultures and the beauty of peaceful coexistent, when dialogues are based on mutual understanding and not conflict.

Wow, that's cute from the all views. I never new Istanbul has such a great artistry view and the place looking marvelous from all angles of views. There's nothing more than to set foot there. A city falling between west and east will have much to offer. @max, I love your post

Thanks for your comment. It's a great city indeed. History, art, food. You can find everything, I definitely want to go back and taking more pictures. Also the graffiti art is amazing in this city

Beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you

Nice shots! I always pass by but haven't really explored the city, maybe this year :)

Istanbul is so big you can't really show the daily life in 10 pictures. Nonetheless, great effort, I liked those pictures of the European side =)

You are right, It deserves a complete and deep reportage.
