Randomly walked by #Galata Tower last week with about 7mins left on the countdown to the opening of #Türkiye #Innovation Week, so stuck around to see the show. Pretty cool stuff....

Picture of Dorian Goat. If you're ever in #Istanbul and come across a charming #anthropomorphic #goatman, you'd better be on guard, because he's made a deal with the #devil and faces zero consequences for any of his dastardly deeds....

A #pigeon sitting on a railing reflecting on #existence. Presumably.

One thing it wasn't doing was eating the bread I put out. Probably because existence is #depressing.

Great view from my #balcony in #Istanbul though....

What's up, #cat? No, seriously. I looked up there and didn't see anything even vaguely interesting.

A few weeks ago we had #patriotic trees in Odesa. Now we've got some patriotic #baklava in #Istanbul - which presumably tastes exactly like regular baklava, but likely costs a premium, due to the #kitsch tax....

A go to #breakfast in Turkey: #Mercimek çorbası (lentil soup). Served with a half loaf of bread and obligatory glass (or two) of sweet Turkish #çay. Lemon, chilli flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Mmmm mmm....

The still relatively new Taksim #Mosque, located in the famed square and district of the same name. The lighting in the street is a bit harsh, but it does provide for some photogenic #shadows at least....

Opened back in 2019, Istanbul's massive new #airport is surprisingly quite efficient, both for transfers and immigration.
