Photographer's Note
I join Josep Marin to pay tribute to victims of Taksim, 31 October.
I suggest you listen İstiklal Caddesi / İSTANBUL - Eleni Karaindrou-To Vals Tou Gamou as advised Manuel Mayorga
The avenue Istiklal, Istiklal Caddesi in Turkish, literally Independence Avenue, formerly known as Grande Rue de Pera, is one of the most famous avenues in Istanbul, Turkey, visited by nearly 3 million people One day during the weekend. Located in the historic Beyoglu district, is an elegant pedestrian street, approximately three kilometers long, which houses exquisite boutiques, music stores, bookstores, art galleries, cinemas, theaters, libraries, cafes, pubs, nightclubs with live music, historical patisseries, chocolate shops and restaurants. The avenue, with a single Turkish architecture of the 19th century, starts from the neighborhood around the Genoese Galata Tower, which ultimately leads to the Taksim Square.

Bonjour Valerie!
La premiθre chose que je suis avec toi, avec Josep, et tout le peuple turc dans ma sympathie et de la critique de ce nouvel attentat ...
Istiklal a ιtι une grande rencontre sur mon chemin ... la couleur de sa vie et m'a rempli dθs le dιbut, le tramway qui traverse le milieu, il ya, basι sur la vie quotidienne en deux par un souvenir du passι, belle et romantique ... J'ai aimι ... et ainsi de fait une chanson appelιe "Istiklal Caddesi" que la plupart de vos belles photos ...
Salutations ...
Manu

Bonjour Valιrie,
je vois que tu as prιsentι une photo du tramway nostalgique rouge d'Istiklal Caddesi, comme moi.
C'est une vraie icτne de la ville, trθs photogιnique par son antiquitι et sa couleur vivante rouge, de plus, puisqu'il circule ΰ travers d'une rue principalement piιtonniθre, l'atmosphθre qu'il crιe est spιciale, avec une touche un peu vintage.
Une bonne photo, avec un bon cadrage dynamique.
Merci beaucoup pour te joindre ΰ mon hommage aux victimes.
Avec mes amitiιs,
Josep

Hello Dear Valιrie,
There is so much character in this street, what a pleasure it is to see the photograph in your gallery. I see that you were there on 22 October. On 8 September, I walked the length of Istiklβl Caddesi from Taksim to the "Tunel," and back (my sister lives very close to Taksim). I am dropping a note to you separately. The link you gave is fabulous. I listened with nostalgia over and over.
Warmest regards,
Bulent

Bon POV, y compris le vieux tram.
Bon travail.

Bonjour Valerie,
Busy street scene, converted to pedestrians instead of cars and the classical electric trolley with wood framing instead of plastic.
Good job, and good note,
Ray

Salut chere Valerie, a beautiful Daily Life scene with the little tram taking centre stage. I like the diagonal lines created here and the dynamism as people go about their daily business. TFS and I wish you a beautiful weekend, Lisa
