Lights of tulips and Turkish brides in Emirgan Park

Hello friends!

The first day of the magnificent Tulip Festival started in one of the oldest and largest parks in Istanbul - Emirgan.

It seems that the fire of a large Tulip was lit. The fire spreads across Istanbul at high speed! The smell of tulips and 25 degrees Celsius in the sun, what could be better!

Emirgan Park is located in Sarıyer district on the banks of the Bosphorus. Fortunately, during the holidays, transport makes it as comfortable as possible to travel to the festive points of Istanbul.

From Kadikoy or Uskudar sea bus will bring you to the shores of the small port of Emirgan.

And here is our boat, which is a symbol of Istanbul. Goes for the next batch of residents and tourists to bring them to the Tulip festival in Emirgan.

The shore of the Bosphorus meets us with a huge number of people, unusual flying birds and beautiful views.

Small houses in Seljuk style delight me. Nice, simple and tasteful.

That such meetings before, I was surprised. But in Istanbul, a lot of moms with two or three children of the same age in a wheelchair. How do they manage, I guess the doctors skillful :)

Fishermen Cariera greeted us with fresh mackerel can at 6.5 dollars per kilogram. I like to wave my fishing rod, but in Istanbul I'm afraid to kill someone with a sinker. The fishermen here smart guys, trained to cast a fishing rod in the crowd.

If you don't enjoy the view of the Bosphorus, then from the port to the Park Emirgan can be reached in 5 minutes.

This year I decided to protect the tulips from the people grid on the perimeter. This is a good solution. Past festivals I have heart of hurt from blasphemy people. Was created the most beautiful arrangement of flowers that had been partially trampled. Visitors lying and sitting in the tulips...

Emirgan Park is a huge oasis, which must be visited.

That's the way to rest Istanbul on the weekend in the parks. Beauty!

We will alternate the areas of the Park with beautiful tulips that are planted in it.

Here comes the first Turkish bride. How many flowers have tulips, so many flowers have wedding dresses in Turkey. The fact that girls and women take off high heel shoes, a normal situation. It is impossible to walk on the slopes of the Park long enough with heels.

Here is the second bride, but in a white dress and heels.

Paintings tulips completely different shapes.

In the center of the Park there is a beautiful waterfall. Seagulls swim in the pond and "mow " under the swans.

Butterflies scattered through the Park. The house on the hill is a restaurant, which is made in Ottoman style.

Tulips collected in one large Tulip-a symbol of the Ottoman Empire.

On stage performing artists and singing Turkish songs.

Emirgan Park Fairgrounds. Here creative craftsmen sell beautiful paintings and Souvenirs.

Here's another running bride in sneakers on the background of the Bosphorus. The witness is barefoot.

Glass blowers at the fair create beautiful tulips and sell them for $ 4.

The artists also presented their works at the fair.

Holidays in Turkey necessarily accompanied by drawings on the water-Ebru. The woman at the fair, children were taught this art. Kids painted tulips.

I loved these handmade.

It is a pity that it is impossible to show the whole wonderful Park. The place is very beautiful, breathtaking.

Such a nice bride, just an angel!

These storks bring babies to Turkish families.

There is only some birds, not even of the colors made!

This photo shows whether tulips or peonies. Let's call them Pauli. They look amazing! The walk was wonderful. Hours 6 in Park carried out with pleasure. Showed you only 5% of the Park's beauty. Otherwise it would be necessary to ship 200 photos. The festival has just started today. Got a lot of pleasure from Tulip beauty.

Returned home, saw wreaths at the building. It opened a new store in Atasehir. Wreaths, which we bring to the funeral, in Turkey give for all holidays and weddings. That's a shifter. When I first saw these wreaths at the wedding, was shocked.

 Thank you for your attention! Today is another wonderful day! All good sentiments! 

 From Turkey, @ rosy440.
