All along the Galata Bridge (across the stretch of water known as the Golden Horn in Istanbul) there are guys fishing, day in, day out. It's quite a funky bridge with the road level on top and bars and restaurants beneath.

This picture looks across to the New Mosque - completed in 1663.... well I guess everything is relative :)

Yes... that's certainly "relative"! :-) Nice shot... and interesting. DancingDolphin · 2008-05-09: 13:10

Very interesting! It must be nice to have beer "under" after fishing from "above". leocheung · 2008-05-10: 10:29
