Bosphorus and Black Sea seen from Istanbul

...a fascinating view, Peter...it seems you was alone in this area;-)...

Hi Erika,

Thank you so much for your quick visit. The entrance to the Black Sea used to be guarded by a old fort on each side of the Bosphorus. Now only there for intrepid tourists!

Best Wishes and keep safe!

Hi Peter,
What beautiful blues and a lovely scene showing this famous river and bridge. You found warmer climes! Take care.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for visiting the Bosphorus! This is the Black Sea end.guarded by Yoros castle.. (Although some modern military establishments in the area now do that job..)
More will come from Turkey in the coming days. Pity I couldn't stay there!

Best Wishes and keep safe!
Peter

Great view Peter ~ I hope that you got back home OK

Hi Nick

Your visit has made me happy! Thank you!
The view is from Yoros castle, which was there to guard the Bosphorus in years gone by.
Yes, back home apparently safe and well, last flight before the borders got closed!

Best Wishes and keep safe!
