Well Ozgur, it seems we have the same passion: istanbul and photos! I live in Selanik/Yunanistan and i visit Istanbul many times per year. Check my blog about Istanbul too: http://www.eistinpolin.wordpress.com :)
im happy meeting you and it was so nice to get to know you better. I don’t know much about Istanbul but I am sure that there are so many places to visit there.
Beautiful photos, Ozgur. I came to Turkiye from Canada to teach ESL and at first i could only see the poverty and strangeness but slowly my eyes opened to the beauty and one day I fell so deeply in love with Istanbul. Now this place is so deep in me – it is poetry and music for my soul and i hate being away from Istanbul. Ozgur do you have a photo of the old fountain on Bican Bagcioglu Sk in Fatih where it meets Serbethane Sk – very close to the cami ? This is where i first lived. I thought the wall was just an old wall lol. I have learned so much since then.
Hi Yasemin,
I’ll visit Fatih for your street and share a photo :)
see you again in Istanbul

I bookmarked this link . Thank you for good job !
Love these deep rich colors, especially the tulips. I’m searching for a nice photo to use for a close aunt’s memorial service program. Her favorite flower was the tulip. Would I be able to use a high-res photo of yours? Let me know and I’ll tell you which one(s) I’m thinking of. Thanks so much for spreading beauty through your lens.
Hi Sheree,
thanks for your kindly words.
Please select your photos with comment. I’ll send hi res copies to you ..

istanbul is not a “he”
hi Anon,
istanbul is beatiful and “istanbul is a she ” now for me. Years ago, it was a he ..
thanks for your comment

all i’ve known about Turkey was the color of my skin which i took after my Turkish grandmother.
i have never been to Turkey but i met many Turkish pilgrims coming to my country and i couldn’t help not falling in love with them. So friendly, so generous and so honest.
Your website Ozgur made me feel Turkey through my Turkish skin. your photographs, your poems, your comments and other people’s comments brought tears to my eye.
i really feel like coming to Turkey and experience this love, this peace, and The Beauty of Turkeia.

I´m in love with Istanbul since I´ve seen her when I was a little child about 20 years ago.
At that time I didn´t see much but I felt that Istanbul was something different, there was something you can´t describe with words.
Now I know: it was love at first sight!
Istanbul adina bu siteyi hazirladiginiz icin bende tesekkür etmek istiyorum.

Hi
I just found your blog by coincidence. Thank you for sharing with us your great photos of Istanbul. I visited the city last year with my husband and kids (5yrs, 2yrs old) and It was love at first sight for all of us; a great city and a great civilization.
I posted a link for your blog on my facebook. I love it.

Wow, it’s been so long that I didn’t see such a fantastic blog! Placing a link from my blog right now.
Congrats!
thanks Can.
Merhaba, I have checked out your blog a few times. I am crazy about Istanbul and have travelled there a few times. Your blog helps me to find new places to visit. Thanks for a great blog!
My question: isn’t wordpress.com banned in Turkey? Why I wonder? Because I will start a blog of my own, but I want to have readers in Turkey, but if blogspot is banned, and wordpress too…? (frankly, I don’t understand how you can blog on wordpress if it has been banned?) Well, the ban on wordpress was something I found in some old news of 2007 on Internet. Is the ban lifted?
thanks Alice,
WordPress.com is free now in Turkey. We dont like cencorship and any human rights interruption.
see you in Istanbul.

Hi,
I am also a foreigner living in Istanbul and just like you I am still completely in love with the city and its people after years. I started an online magazine on Istanbul, esp. art and culture – but I must admit, that I have no idea of how to use a camera, but pressing the button on the top:) If you would from time to time publish some of your photos on my site, it would be most welcome. Thanks for the great pictures, some of them gave me a new idea for an article…
thanks Sandra, again :)

Hi Ozgur,
Gorgeous shots of tulips! I’m very sorry to trouble you, but would you happen to know the dates of this year’s Tulip Festival? I googled but could not find any information. It would be such a shame if my trip in April missed it by a day or two. I would be grateful if you could point me somewhere.
