They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes, they’re right.
Instead of going on and on about how I’ve never experienced a real winter in my life, I’ll spare you all my thoughts on how magical everything looks in the snow and instead give you a glimpse of the images I captured the other day on our walk around our neighborhood in Istanbul, Sariyer, which has a fishing village feel along the Bosphorus.

| The view from the end of an alleyway. |
 |
| Just look how snow transforms everyday objects like scaffolding into something pretty and poetic! Zounds! |
 |
| Roses in the snow. |

| The mosque near our apartment. |
 |
| Looks like a few folks still wanted to play on the playground in the bad weather. |
 |
| The fishermen are there selling their fresh wares come rain or come shine. |
 |
| These boats aren’t goin’ anywhere today. |
 |
| Neither are these, I reckon… |
 |
| All the stray doggies like looking pensive in the snow. |
 |
| Ataturk looking stately in front of the Turkish flag. |
 |
| Yes, that is our neighborhood Burger King in the background… |
 |
| Side-by-side footprints in the snow. |
Sara, this post seriously BLEW ME AWAY! I cannot believe these are your sites … I actually got GOOSEBUMPS with the second one. I can't pick a favorite… the mosque, the dogs, the boats… Love this!
Thanks! I enjoyed exploring a bit and taking photos in a very different scenery than we normally have! 🙂
