one of my favorite things about living in üsküdar is that i usually have to cross the bosphorus to take care of some errand on istanbul's european side. not only do i get a nerdy thrill knowing that i'm crossing continents, but there's always an interesting parade of man made floating devices to look at as well. i board one of the 20 ferries that are on the water at any given time and ride alongside gargantuan oil tankers, eight story cruise ships, military destroyers, tugboats, and teeny fisherman boats.
on this particular rainy day though it was just the lone freighter ship and our little motör ferry.
