Istanbul: Day 2 - Wandering Across the Bridge

Over the bridge.
As we walked over the bridge we caught a nice view of two sides of Istanbul: The Historic Peninsula on one side, and the Beyoglu District on the other. Above are a couple of pictures: One of them is looking back at one of the many Mosques...this one with its minarets covered in scaffolding. The other is towards the Beyoglu District...towards Galata Tower - which was our destination. We stood on the bridge's lower floor and watched the many different ferries and boats that seem to barely make it under the bridge span. In this photo we captured a tugboat adding a splash of red to the landscape.
