Istanbul, TURKEY: The Ottoman Empire walled city ruin still stand this day. A photo I have taken while on a boat ride along the Bosphorus Sea. This sea will lead you to the famous Black Sea. At first, this photo looks like the Great Wall of China.
Funny! My Lebanese office mate ask where the place is, he guessed it's in China. Haha! the wall is now surrounded with water! Isn't it that great wall is up in the mountain?! LOL!
Asia meets Europe
This bridge will take you to both continents in no time!
Bosphorus Bridge
As the highway transportation between the two continents, the Bosphorus Bridge is considered as the Strait’s pearl for its delicate architecture.
Having one of its pedestals in Beylerbeyi and the other in Ortaköy, the Bridge has a total length of 1,560 m, width of 33.40 m and altitude of 64 m.
Put into service in 1970, the resplendent view of the bridge particularly revealed at nights serves as an inspiration for myriad of books and photographs. On the Beylerbeyi pedestal of the bridge you can see the fantastic waterside mansions, and on the Ortaköy pedestal you can have a bird’s eye view on the Ortaköy Mosque.
Good thing I visited this place in the month of September (been back December, visited this country twice), had it on January or Feb, I probably couldn't sail beneath this bridge as it is full of ice during the winter. The Authority closes the area for some time on winter season.
Bright sunny day in Turkey. Snowy days makes this city submerge in ice for up to waist.
Taken at my hotel roof top.
