30 November 2023 Istanbul: A Show Outside Our Windows

 


We were able to sleep thru the loud calls for prayer at dawn.  That gave me a couple more hours to sleep.  When I did wake up I sat our on our glassed in balcony and saw lots of cool things outside.


The blue mosque is sprawling


Here are two different marinas, many ferries sail from here


These seagulls were on the next balcony over and were very vocal


Lots of ships out in the water


A big cruise ship




All sorts of ships


Many flocks of birds flying


Rock Pigeons


Hooded crows


Seagulls


A new bird, the laughing dove


The entrance to a car tunnel


Little cat on the roof


Hooded crow on the gilded parts of the mosque


Starling


More starlings


Fall colors


I had to get the map out to try to decipher the water way


Turkish flag


The sun was peeking out 



It has been 1 year and 178 days since we began our Migration
