POTD: First Stop, Istanbul

"East and West embrace,
bridging time and continents.
Istanbul welcomes."

From 2024 05 06 Istanbul

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Istanbul, Turkey, one of the world's great cities for 2,000 years. It's the gateway between Europe and Asia, between East and West, between modernity and history. Travel there from the West and it feels exotic. Arrive from the East and feel like you are back in familiar surroundings. It's chaotic and wonderful at once.

A bonus photo is after the jump.
