EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Embarkation Quay at Sirkeci, Istanbul, a bustling hub of maritime and rail transportation that once served as the final stop for trains arriving from Europe. The quay, now a major ferry terminus, is a testament to the rich history and cultural connections that have shaped this iconic city for centuries. In the foreground, a row of moored boats and steam ships line the water's edge, their hulls glistening in the sunlight. The towering silhouette of the Sirkeci railway station looms in the background, its red-tiled roof and ornate architecture a striking contrast to the modern ferries and sleek yachts that now ply the waters of the Bosphorus. The Embarkation Quay at Sirkeci holds a special place in the annals of history, having played a pivotal role in the city's transformation from Constantinople to Istanbul. For travelers arriving by sea or land, this was the gateway to a city that straddled two continents and bridged the divide between Europe and Asia. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the cacophony of activity that once filled the air – the hustle and bustle of passengers boarding ships and trains, the clanging of cargo being loaded and unloaded, the distant calls of vendors hawking their wares. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, a snapshot of a bygone era that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
