More From Turkey

Our first evening in Istanbul, Turkey we had the occasion to walk a few blocks and ascend to the top floor of a neighboring hotel.  The report was that from the bar/cafe there was a wonderful view of the city and straights.  We weren't able to make it before sunset, our favorite time.  However, the view was spectacular at twilight.
At the moment this picture was taken there weren't many boats in view.  However a bit later, there were many freighters and ferries on the water.

Let me point out the mosque in the lower left hand area and just to the right, between the two larger buildings, a soccer game is in progress on the lighted field.  And, you may know, Istanbul is a city which sits on two continents:  Asia and Europe.
