Where was I?

Istanbul?

Not Constantinople?

Yes, Rufus. You are, of course, also right. Only do you seem to be in the wrong TIME. But the place is exactly that ! If you had asked "Not Byzantium" I would have replied in the same manner.

Long time gone?

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

by They Might Be Giants


Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

No, you can't go back to Constantinople

Very nice photo LaFato!

(Most unfortunate time of the day for photography, noon sun, very bright - but ... that's what I had at the time, coupled with little choice over where I'd be at which given time...)

I feel your pain. Very similar situation with me last week camping. Lovely weather, yet not conducive for photography. I am lucky since I had far fewer images to go through afterwards.

** waiting for the next entries **

So sorry I had to make you wait for my next entries for so long.
I have done the "quick works" to all those more than 1670 photos I decided to keep for the time being (discarding a good many - my Sigma lens is definitely broken which sadly shows in so many of photos which I thought/hoped would have been quite a success) first since there's people from the group waiting for a CD, so I was quite busy all of last week. I will now post more (in a thread of its own).
