My photo this week is of the Bosphorus. Between Asia and Europe, the twenty mile stretch of water links the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea, at Istanbul. It’s a lovely place for an afternoon or evening cruise with drinks, nibbles or dinner. On both sides the architecture is outstanding, palaces, hotels, colleges and homes of the Istanbullu glitterati. Europe is to the left and Asia to the right.
