Hotel Paradise

Paradise? Perhaps it's a prostitution-based enterprise. Perhaps it's a mom-and-pop establishment? I don't know, since I've never stayed at...Hotel Paradise! From a side street of Beyoglu, close to Tunel square, in Istanbul.

Pixel Camels

Kitschy mosaics preserve the memory of a time when camel caravans from inland Anatolia were more common than automobiles. From an apartment building/shopping arcade in Smyrna, or İzmir.

Shit Toilet

What a piece of shit! Serious-looking mafia men relieve themselves at a toilet so bizzarely built that for a moment you wonder if it isn't a set piece from Star Wars. From underneath a bridge in Besiktas, on the European side of the Bosphorus.
