Istanbul from above

Thanks to Carpetblogger (read her, is my only advice for you!, even if I brazenly stole her picture...) and Wikipedia, I can share this exceptionally cool image of Istanbul taken from space with you. You actually can't imagine how detailed it is - and I thought I got a really good view of the city from above when flying in over it late Saturday afternoon...

At the top of the picture is the Black Sea and the Marmara sea at the bottom. And the Bosphorus as a live highway, or something... You can also see the bridges and the Topkapi and and and and... everything!
