Travels to Istanbul + Returning To The Blog

7.12.16

I believe this has been the longest I've been away from this blog, and I regret my decision to distance myself from Indigo Ink. So much so, in fact, that I am determined to start posting regularly, perhaps once every two weeks. I wanted to start off this (early) New Year's resolution with some of my photographs from my trip to Istanbul back in February that I never shared.
You can expect a few more traveling posts in the next few months (from my trip to Morocco in June and my travels to Iran in July/August, as well as my upcoming visit to California in December). I truly hope you will enjoy these little snapshots of my brief journey to a distant land.


The Hagia Safiya


Istanbul was crowded with stray dogs and cats, and although some were frightened of travelers, some were extraordinarily friendly (like this one) and even posed for a picture. 


On almost every street there were various stands, selling not only food, but little trinkets and souvenirs. There was a variety of fresh baked breads in the mornings, served with cream cheese or Nutella, roasted chestnuts and grilled corn, available morning, afternoon and night. 

The Basilica Cisterns


Also, Indigo Ink turned three in August! I can't believe I've come this far.

  1. Happy belated blog birthday! Wow, your photographs are simply delicious in detail (like that corn). :') It's odd - it seems a lot of bloggers chose the same time to go on a blogging break. I've certainly noticed a decrease in content from many of my favourite blogs. All the same, I appreciate the content you put here today. The photographs especially are incredible!

    1. Thank you so much! I agree, even though I wasn't posting, I still sometimes checked up on my favorite blogs, but there was hardly ever anything new. Hopefully everyone will make their New Year's resolution to blog more, and the blogging community will return. :)

  2. THESE PHOTOS ARE SO PRETTY. I can tell that from the comments and what you post you really care about this space you have here. (By space I mean blog!) I have been blogging for about three years myself! Congrats.
