Bir tepeden baktım...

Haliç, Eyüp Sultan 27 July 2012
This city is always illuminated, but during Ramadan even more so. We might talk about views -- and to look, bakmak, at them -- and the way they bring the city into being. If our sense of what a city is comes to be shaped by the ways that we see it, then we might begin to talk about views like this -- from Pierre Loti (or İdlis-i Bitlis, depending on your persuasion), the ridge of the old city topped with mosques.
