This was quite an elaborate stairwell.
Galata Bridge.
Galata Tower, ready for a night on the town.
The three, brightly-lit boats are actually small restaurants; well, the grills are on the boats while seating is on the land.
Underpass of very busy intersection above.
That's Galata Tower, off in the distance.
Looking into The Spice Bazaar.
Harem Saray, on the right, I wound up doing business with a few times. They seemed to have good prices compared to the others. A photograph of their business card appears later...
These displays were reall snazzy!!! Unfortunately, not captured by this camera.
Bought several of the 21-count spice packs seen in the bottom-right corner of this picture (3 rows of 7 packs each). I believe I paid 25 Turkish Lira for each one.
This photo doesn't come close to capturing the artistic detail of the display. Should've bought some and run the risk of them making it back home whole.
*Sigh*...
Closing time...
