osmanbey metro mural 1000x560

This tile mural is on the wall of the train tunnel. An area not too far from Osmanbey was used as an archery grounds for the sultans in the early Ottoman empire. Maybe this mural refers to that, I really don’t know for sure. It is kind of dimly lit on the far side of the tracks, but you get the idea.

This street vendor has a rather laid-back style. He was inconspicuously standing on Ergenekon Caddesi in Şişli.
