Sunrise Over the Bosphorus

Morning view from the hotel roof. Bosphorus on the right. Blue Mosque on the left.

I got an extra huge dose of sleep yesterday, recovering from jet lag and travel-induced sleep deprivation. That meant I woke up before dawn, actually rested. And that gave me the chance to see sunrise over the Bosphorus.

Here is the view from my hotel room balcony, dawn's early light:

The sun kept getting brighter, as the sun does this time of day:

Finally, at the time of my hotel breakfast, the hotel rooftop shows the blue sky and the blue water of the Bosphorus:

More feelin' blue.

I got a very busy day of tourisming ahead and it is time to jump jump jump to it.
