Istanbul

A quote from the Qur'an posted outside the Sultan Ahmed Mosque 

With a single day to spend in Istanbul between travels, what better way to spend my unscheduled time than by hitting the streets for a day of photo-hunting. These photographs are not linked to any specific political issue, but rather, a general view of everyday Turkish people who make up the fabric of the country's largest city.
