  2. Your photos are very romantic. #5, 6 and 7 are my favorites. They could be straight from a movie set.

  5. Sylvie - wonderful photos of this small jewel of a train station! We lived right behind it for 2 months this past spring, in sight of the tracks (but the trains are electric so not noisy!) I loved the view especially, so close to the Bosphorus. Hope you will be back soon...
