Dolmabahçe

Today I walked to work to try out the D-SLR photo camera Nikon D2H. I decided to go inside the Dolmabahçe mosque (real name : Bezm-i Alem Valide Sultan Mosque) built in 1850.

Mosque Clock

My friend Daniel bought this in Eminönü and I thought it was pretty funny and kitsch. That's how the alarm wakes you up in the morning. A real nightmare. Especially the little echo at the end.

Stormy Day... Again

Remember I told you about the little storm before going to Bodrum. Here is a picture of the front of our house taken right before leaving for Bodrum :









The after photo : the tree is gone.









Today another little storm stroke Istanbul. While we were seating on the outside terrace of The House Cafe enjoying our breakfast in Ortaköy, sunbathing, we saw this big black cloud coming toward us. We decided to leave, but I wanted to take a photo o f the Bosphorus first to show you the waves when a big wave stroke and fell on Selcuk. He had to get into a store to buy new clothes.
