Sariyer is the district we live in, but also a town unto itself just a ways north of us. Now that we have the car, we can venture out to these easy to get to places. The advantage of this area is that it is SLIGHTLY less crowded than the rest of the city to the south of us and affords a more gentle vibe. There are still places to walk along the Bosphorus, but the sidewalks are wider and the fishermen less numerous. These pictures are just south of Sariyer, not the town of Sariyer itself.

A nice little mini harbor.

Hey there! Despite our relaxed pose, I have a death grip on him because the water is cold, cold, cold and deeper than I can stand. So of course, he's fascinated with being as close as he can to the edge.
One of my favorite things about this little guy is that he now holds my hand...er finger when we walk.
Some gents on a boat..fishing..in leather jackets.
Asia on the right, Europe on the left. Beyond the gap is the Black Sea. This was a sunny day, but there was icy air coming down. This was also the same day as the Galatasaray game that I attended. When the sun went down, this icy fog came shooting south and made it a very chilly evening.
