Aerial

View looking south southeast over Istanbul.  In the upper right of the image is the Sea of Marmara.  The landmass in the lower portion of the image is European Istanbul.  The land mass in the upper left is Asian Istanbul.  The Bosphorous/Bosporus Strait separates these two continents.

The meandering "river" in the lower center of the image is the "Golden Horn" (river) that "flows" into the Bosporus.  There are four bridges over the Bosporus—faintly visible.
