Istanbul - Topkapi palace

Thursday Oct 7

Visited Topkapi palace.

The ceilings:






The tiles


The trees - lots of them very old and not looking so good.


The circumcision chamber

Wasn't sure, but this might be where lots of little boys sat
Other bits and pieces
If you look carefully, it's a lion

This window shutter is made with mother of pearl inlay


This can be a job when I get back home - black and white stone paving


Some views from the palace


Galata tower in the distance
