Traveling will always be my passion, and I've got a chance to visit Istanbul last October 2014.
For a couple of days, me and my friends scour around the city to get some nice shots around.
From
Wikipedia, the history of Istanbul describes as:
The
History of Istanbul explains the historical development of the modern city of
Istanbul. Its name from 330 AD to 1930 was
Constantinople.
The settlement was established as a Greek colony, called
Byzantion, in the 7th century BC. It fell to the
Roman Republic in AD 196, and was known as
Byzantium until 330, when it was renamed
Constantinople and made the new capital of the
Roman Empire. During
late antiquity, the city rose to be
the largest of the western hemisphere, with a population peaking at close to half a million people. Constantinople was the capital of the
Eastern Roman Empire, known as the
Byzantine Empire. That ended with the
Muslim conquest in 1453. Constantinople then became the capital of the
Ottoman Empire.
Here are some pictures when I travel there, I will post 2 parts to separate between color and BW pictures. Please keep in mind that these pictures were copyrighted, any use of these picrues needs a special permission from me
