  The sky had a dramatic purple hue just before the sun set. Thank you Richard!

Istanbul—one of my favorite cities, and there is the Galata Tower, from the top of which it seems that you can see all of Istanbul.

  Not sure I have been up to the Galata tower; probably missed some good views. Thanks for the comment!

  We can never forget the weather that day while we were on the Bosphorous cruise: rain at first, then a bit of rainbow and by the time we were almost docking the sunset has a purplish tint. Thanks for your kind comment! Michael

It’s the sky that makes it, isn’t it? Great!

  Yes, it is more of a submission for “sky” than for “silhoutte”, for this reason, I am making further submissions for the Challenge! Regards, Michael

I have never been to Istanbul (yet), but the skyline is a classic and something I MUST see in real life some day. Wonderful photos, Michael! Have a very lovely week!
