Istanbul in 6 Shots

Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul. The western terminus of the Silk Road. The historical gateway between East and West. A place so charged with symbolism I can't help but feel I'm facing yet another Kilómetro Cero. As if the 10,000 kilometres that led me here have been nothing but a prelude to the real stuff. 'This is where it begins,' the city whispers.

Ferry dock in Kadıköy (Asia)

Yeni Camii (New Mosque)

Some mosques just can't handle the crowds

The Sultanahmet skyline

Commuting made fun: a ferry ride across the Bosphorus

Competition is fierce on the Galata Bridge
