Urban Paradox

-

I know, you know... istanbul is romantic,
I know, you know... istanbul is historical,
I know, you know... istanbul is remarkable.

Well, I know but did you know istanbul is ugly?

One good thing about being off blog for a good amount of time is that I have many issues untold and unwritten that I want to share.. like above that I took in a couple rainy hours now when I was looking outside from the window. Low-sized, mid-sized, tall buildings..
not well organized, not healthy, not giving clean appearance! It will not be wrong if I say this is the ugly face of urbanization and unfortunately marred the beauty of Istanbul.


What's the ugly face of your living area/town?

  3. Hello Nihal! Reading your funny comment, I understand you are astonished by the snow in April! :-) I think this year the skiing season at 1300 meters will go on till the end of the month! I don't ski at the moment, but I am fond of skiing.
    These nice images of the "ugly face" of Istanbul are significant; of course, also in Turin there are areas which are not nice.
    Happy weekend!
