Cutie in Istanbul

Covered from head to toe

It's tough to see these women all covered up - only part of their face showing and their hands - this woman covered her face while I was taking pics of KMV. I asked the man behind the desk at the hotel why they wear this and he said they are hiding their "treasures" for religious reasons.

The famous blue mosque

Cats and kittens in Instanbul


Weird Fish at the fish market

When I looked at this fish from the front, I thought it was a croc or something like that - from the side, it is just an ugly fish - they told me the name but I didn't understand it.


You can pay to shoot balloons at the water

He hauled this cart up a very steep hill

Mangy cats everywhere

Hats with veils

If anyone wants one of these hats while I am here, send me an email and the colour you want....

KMV at the blue mosque

The men here love the blonde hair.

This is something I have not seen before

There was a group photo of these people and everyone put their camera on the sidewalk and the guide took each camera, one at a time, and took a photo of the group with it.


Lots of stray cats - my favorite


Free scarves at the blue mosque

When you go to the blue mosque, women have to cover up their shoulders and legs and men have to cover up their legs if they are in shorts. They have "free" scarves and bags for your shoes - but you must give a donation for the mosque.

Beautiful ....
