Turkish tea

Turkey is one of these countries where one is not limited to coffee to get a nice boost of energy. Even though I am fan of Turkish coffee, traditionally served Turkish tea matches the caffeine effect. Or maybe I just like sitting outside in February and enjoying a nice cup while watching people rush by?

I tried my best to get blurry background effect with the iPhone, but, alas, no camera app seems to have direct control over aperture. Oh well, doesn't matter, the tea was great!

Not so blue mosque

I finally did the trip to the old town. Surprisingly, it was not as crowded as Pera. Or maybe there were as many people, but the streets were less narrow?

Anyway, it was a white sky day - hence the black-and-white processing.

Fluffy monster

Normally, not an animal photographer, but cats (and dogs) here in Istanbul are so cute!
