PhotoHunt - Busy

A busy waterfront at Eminonu in Istanbul with Suleymaniye mosque in the background. There are lots of vendors, vehicles and pedestrians along the promenade.

The waterfront area is always busy with fish sandwich boats moored at the dock and the cruise ferries going back and forth.

We took a ferry across the busy Bosphorus for a 90 minute ride and the cruise was a wonderful way to see the city along the shores.

    I am surprised to read the names of those places. All are new and alien to me! LOL.. My geography is rusty now. The place looks so developed and nice.

    We have again photos from this wonderful city! I like Istanbul very much. It's old and traditional, modern and vibrant. A great city and a great inspiration for photographers.

    Very nice photo shots.

    On any given weekday our San Diego harbor is usually calm unless it happens to be a holiday then it is bustling with all sorts of stuff especially when the big tall sailing ships sets sail

    I visited Instanbul some years back and enjoyed my holiday there. Unfortunately, my camera broke the first night I was there. So I only have great memories -- but no photographs -- of my visit! ;(

    Fantastic photos, I've never heard of fish sandwich boats what are there purpose? :-).

    Windsmoke,

    fish sandwiches are being sold daily in the traditional boats tied to the quay (as seen on the left side of the 2nd photo). fishermen brought their catch from the Bosphorus and the freshly caught fish are grilled in their boats and served in a half-loaf of bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to hungry locals and tourists. :)

    I really like the way you captured the mosque against the sky in those first two pictures. You definitely captured the theme with these beautiful waterfront pictures.

    Oh, a cruise across the Bosphorus must be such fun! I shall have to visit there one day (maybe after I've been to Santorini).

    It looks like such a lively place and so many big boats. There must be lots of tourists or commuters that use them regularly.
