Dawn in Istanbul

click on the photo for alternate version

Just before dawn, Istanbul’s fishermen get in their boats and move onto the Bosphorus or the Marmara sea. If you walk or sit along the coastline, you can hear them talking or listening to music. A great place to visit in Istanbul, if you want to sit along the coast, is Kadıköy, which is also where this picture was taken. Inspired by the work of Michael Kenna.

Tell me, which is better, the above or the alternate version?

    That’s one great shot! I can literally feel the calm and tranquillity of the place. Love the monotonous hues and compositions. Well done!

    Hey Bas.

    While I was in Istanbul we spent plenty of time just enjoying the coast watching fisherman’s boats go by at the Sea of Marmar. Live it up man!

    Thanks for the tag BTW!

    This one. I liked the wake trail left behind by the boat cutting through the water. What a great shot Bas!
