first view

Istanbul in late afternoon as the light from the Bosphorous streams between tall buildings.  Mosques silhouetted 

                            

 Mannequins  and pastries beckon. Matilda is right at home here.

Colors emerging

Out of grey color emerges. On the way to Istanbul. A grey Amsterdam previews some hot color

Are those purple shoelaces?

The journey begins

  

Leaving behind a beloved garden in spring for an unknown exotic world. 

 Istanbul, images of dreams. after a long flight. 

As Bob Dylan said "I can't help it if I'm lucky".
