A few quick shots for you guys to start off your day. It’s almost six here and we are getting ready to go to dinner to celebrate the New Year. Enjoy! And yes, it is STILL raining and or snowing constantly! Hopefully I will get at least a couple days of sun or at least dryness!

My favorite stop of the day, Basilica Cistern

A reused Medusa head as the support for one of the Cistern columns.

Istanbul

So, I know everyone is wondering why I haven’t been blogging like I said I would… Well, I have to blame it on the weather! It has been less than suitable for photo outings since I have arrived. I have had random opportunities to shoot and here is what I have gathered so far.
Here is a shot I grabbed with my point & shoot on the first night (it’s a cheap Canon A710 IS if you are wondering, nothing special).

Got to take my real camera and go trek through the bazaar…



My friend, Fatih, and I went down to Taksim for a jaunt and got snowed/rained on all day… ugh. Shot this in the famous street cars that run up and down the area all day.

In the parking garage… They are selling roasted chestnuts everywhere you look.

The (very wet) view from Galata Tower

Stay tuned! I will get up some fresh shots as soon as it dries up. I am sitting here watching it snow profusely as I am blogging. It’s supposed to look better towards the end of the week.
