| The Show of Color at each Vegetable Stand |
 |
| Waterside restaurants |
 |

 |
| Ice cream on Burgazada at 11:30 at night |
 |
| The slow approach to Galata Tower from Karaköy |
 |
| The calm grace and subtle colors of Suleymaniye Mosque |
 |
| A summer rain in Kuzguncuk |
 |
| The docking of ferry boats |
 |
| The close calls between ferries, tanker ships, speedboats and windsurfers |
 |
| Phaetons of the Prince's Islands |
 |
| The cunning shows of strength and political will in unlikely places |
 |
| Watching Nükte's daughters become strong and beautiful women |
 |
| Dinner and political talk among friends |
 |
| Turkish mezes (appetizers) in lots of olive oil |
 |
| Swimming in the Marmara Sea as ferry boats float by |
 |
| Discovering a litter of kittens as you walk down the street |
 |
| Learning to cook from Vincent |
 |
| The view from Müge's and Alp's living room |
 |
| The lights of Istanbul after dark |
 |
| And, last but not least, the proximity and intimacy of being near two of my oldest and dearest friends |
