EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Tram Station and Ferry Boat landing stage in Kadikoy, Istanbul. Once the capital city of the Roman Empire, known as Byzantium, Constantinople was the world center of civilization for over 900 years. With the declaration of the Republic in the 1920s, the city was renamed Istanbul, but its historical significance remains. The Tram Station and Ferry Boat landing stage are a testament to the city's rich history and its continued importance as a transportation hub. The tram lines and overhead wires are a modern addition to the scene, but they are a crucial part of Istanbul's electric transport system. The Bosphorus, which divides the European and Asian sides of the city, has always been the lifeblood of Constantinople and Istanbul. Businesses and trade have been linked to this strategic waterway for centuries. In the background, the Ottoman-era buildings and the ferry boats add to the sense of history and tradition. Istanbul is now the third largest city in the world, with a population of over 11 million people. It is the only metropolis in the world situated on two continents, making it a unique and fascinating place. This photograph captures the energy and vibrancy of the city, as well as its rich history and cultural heritage." This image is a historical record of the Tram Station and Ferry Boat landing stage in Kadikoy, Istanbul. It showcases the electric tram system, the ferry boats, and the bustling activity at the terminus. The photograph also highlights the city's unique location, straddling two continents, and its historical significance as the capital city of the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. The image is a reminder of the city's past and its continued importance as a transportation hub and a cultural melting pot.
