All day long this song was on my mind....

Like a fairy tale
this city, where I live
sometimes everything is blue
while the sun is leaving the city
all trees begin to whisper,
under the dark blue sky
and I fall in love
once again;
Istanbul takes place at the stage
of night, like a diamond
of sultans...

It is the most beautiful time for me before the sunset or while the sun goes down... it is really like a fairy tale, everything changes
in this early night blue I am glad you found it pretty impressive, Thank you dear Zig,

Thank you dear Chris, it was very cold and I was trying to take pictures at the sea side and my friends
they were all waiting for me in the car Imagine how cold it was, windy and cold! But this was love
of photography, they all find me crazy! But I am glad for the results, yes, it should have been much
more quality, but I am practicing and still learning... and everytime it is a new experience for me.

With my love,

Hi nia,
Never heard this song before but words are related to the pictures.
By the way who sang this song?
Are these pictures are of Istanbul?
Is it you in picture # 2?

...

I haven't heard too till my son introduced me
Yes, this song in my ears all day long, and I think it was an inspiration for my photographs
This song, David Brown from BRAZZAVILLE Band crossing the Bosphorus with Ozgecan Tapa.

All these photos from the Bosphorus of my city, Istanbul!
And I am not in the photo, these ladies, were takings pictures at the sea side, and probably they were coming from a
wedding ceremony, because they have a pink bouquet in their hands, so suddenly I found them in my camera, the
actions of them and the pink almost been an impressive image through the early night blue skies...

Thank you again for your nice comments,
with my love,

All are very beautiful nia...

My favorite would be #2. I like it because of the ladies, it is indeed like a illustration in a fairy tale book. The pink color of the flowers looks great too.

..and who's that glamorous looking woman posting this comment?

[Irma]

Thanks Toad...

My daughter asked me to take me a picture, so I tried. It is the first time I try a self portrait with a mirror. I am pleased with the outcome, taking into account I did it in the bathroom, and I use my towel for background...

I am glad to hear this dear Irma, sometimes we look in same way to the photographical things Actually there was more beautiful composition before this one, the pink colour of the flowers was standing much more closer to the sea, and the Bosphorus was standing as a background behind the lady, but they moved so quickly and I couldn't catch them. And also I was feeling a little bit hesitate too! Even they left there soon.

Thank you so much,
with my love,

But this is excellent dear Irma, I supposed that someone took your picture! You caught and captured a nice action (I feel like that, as if someone called your name and you turned and looked at him/her) I loved it, dear Irma! You are amazing and also so creative beautiful lady

Thank you for your daughter too
have a nice day,
with my love,
