Egyptian Consulate Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the Egyptian Consulate in Istanbul. It is in Bebek almost in the middle of Bosphorus. This building used to belong to the mother of the governer of Egypt in the Ottoman Empire time. It is then used as the consulate. It is built Art Nouveau style. Other photos of Bebek are In the Greens and Boat Station

It is nice to see this building here. It is hard take photo from the road side and boats never go near this building, so you made a good job taking this photo. Well done.

What a nice building and what a great setting. The colors contrast very nicely. The consulate stands out very nicely. And I like the dip between the hills and the buildings creeping over the edge. It's a reminder of the city and of the sprawl. Both the architecture of the building and the boats in the water and what appears to be a secluded setting gives this the atmosphere of a rich place. Nicely done.

I used to hear in egyptian movies about palaces of the mother of tghe governer in Istanbul but it is the first time to see such palace :)
well done Seda although the foreground looks alittle un-natural in compare with the background
