The Bosphorus is a strait that runs directly through the heart of Istanbul, Turkey. Europe lies to the West, and Asia to the East.
There are two bridges that connect the continents, which provide a very special moment as you cross over them. For a split second, you will be within two continents at the same time. There are not very many places in the world where this is possible.
The Bosphorus is a staple to life in Istanbul, and can be seen from most points in the city. It provides many great attractions and activities, and supports a busy international shipping route. To describe Istanbul in one sentence, could not be done without mentioning The Bosphorus Strait.
Here is a photo essay of my time spent in and around the Bosphorus Strait.
Experience Absolute turkey
The Bosphorus was such a treat to see!! The shipping, the cruise ships, the background of Europe and/or Asia was incredible. You really captured some fantastic pictures there!!
It is a beautiful place! Thanks :]
Great photos! You caught some perfect weather too!
Cam recently posted..Have you seen the Floating Seated Man?
I have a question about the first picture – did you add that moon to the image? I don’t think it’s possible to take that picture otherwise. A stunning photo either way.
Haha, yes the magic of photoshop ;]
Essay and pictures both are great
