Photography Workshop Trip in Istanbul
After an eight-day voyage to the city, De Amicis was appalled when he awoke to find the view obscured by fog: “Curse it!” But the slowly clearing mist merely adds to the atmosphere. The sight of minarets “tinged with rosy light from the rising sun”, palaces lining the water’s edge, small harbours, lush gardens and exotic pavilions almost defied the author’s powers of description.
