Impending Spring in Istanbul

The beginning of our stay in Istanbul coincides with the beginning of March, and the slow onset of spring. The temperature is still cold, but blossoms are starting to appear on the trees and every day seems milder than the last. And on the streets, there seems to be that optimistic, expectant energy which always goes hand-in-hand with the end of winter. Enjoy our first batch of random photos, taken during our initial days in Istanbul.

Lovely pictures! What’s particularly nice is that thanks to the randomness, some of the pictures wouldn’t look out of places in your guides to Bolivia, Valencia, or Palermo. With this taster, I’m excited to see what you’ll encounter in your remaining time in Istanbul.

Wow! This is like an appetizer menu… at a really good restaurant. The collection you’ve put together is a great tease. The official tourism board should pick you up, it’s got me checking flights *grin*
