The Sublime Porte573 viewsThe building at left with the flag in front replaced the Topkapi Palace as the headquarters of the Grand Vizier and the government ministries in the 19th century.

Dolmabahçe Palace - close-up view573 viewsRestoration work was in progress.

The High-Rent District573 viewsWe were assured that property values along the Bosphorus were some of the highest in the world. I don't doubt it, but one wonders about the consequences of sea-level rise for these elegant waterfront properties.

Parquet Floor573 viewsDolmabace Palace was filled with intricate parquet floors, in places overlain with posh Turkish carpeting, as in this picture.

Crestmont House Breakfast Nook573 viewsThe breakfast nook provides a view to the northwest.

Hemispherical Tree573 viewsAlthough it partially blocks the view of the lake, this stately tree is an essential accoutrement of the back yard as well as a feast for the eye.

Party on the Patio573 viewsLeft to right: Nick, Sandie, and our hosts Sarah and Mike.
