I've been always fascinated by ancient Istanbul houses and if I ever had a chance to live in Istanbul, I would definitely decide for a residence in any of such oldest Istanbul districts!
I wish I could have made these beautiful photos, but, alas... I am, temporally, a camera-less blogger (that's why, for example, you might have noticed, no new recipes here for a long time:(). Meanwhile, please, enjoy this amazing Istanbul's mosaic I have gathered up via different internet sources!

I've also stumbled upon a book that promises to be something exceptional:
“Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names”
Photography by Alex Webb and an essay written by a Nobel Prize Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk (one of my MOST favourite writers).
The hardbound book measures 12 x 10 inches and has 136 pages with 77 four-color plates. Price: 120$. via topchoicebooks
And this video features wonderful works by Alex Webb capturing Istanbul's daily life, accompanied by some relevant information about Turkey.
P.S. Also, I am taking the opportunity to say that I pray for the areas of Turkey that have recently suffered from an earthquake and their soonest possible relief and recovery. Aamen♥
