taksim square in winter snow

istanbul diaries > taksim square

this is most definitely not one of my favorite places istanbul - but - somehow, the effect of snow (or post-snow) makes it more palettable to the senses; softer, contained, slower. then i have the head space to look at the light, the pigeons, the air, smoke, shadows - as just an outdoor theatrical dance.

this is what winter offers. instead of this istanbul drug going straight to your head, it is slowed down in the blood stream. we have more seconds to digest.

in other words: yesterday i went to taksim square and i didn’t hate it (for about 1 minute).

(what will i do when summer comes - where will i run to)
