  tk11_051415520_j_bc16.jpg - As the plane banked, we did not even know what incredible luck we were having. Shooting essentially blind out the airplane window, we got these great shots of downtown Istanbul. This one shows The Marmora Sea in the URH corner, the Golden Horn descending from it on the left. The right-hand peninsula is Sultanahmet and the greenery of Topkapi as well as Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque can be made out. Closer, in the middle, one sees the Suleimaniye Mosque on a hilltop and, over the Golden Horn, three bridges, of which the farthest is the Galata Bridge.
