Happy Republic's Day (Turkey)
Today marks the 87th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic, which is actually two years younger than my late father Mehmet Gokbudak (born on January 7,1921) would be if he were alive today.
This scene is from the historic Kiz Kulesi/Girl Tower in the Uskudar section of Istanbul. For those who have been to Turkey, there are few scenes that are quite as visually rewarding as the sight of the tower when one is sitting on a motor boat roaming through the Bosphorous.
