Photo: @rezaphotography // #Bosphorus // #Turkey // I was on assignment for the National Geographic Magazine, on Turkey. That night, I was in Istanbul. The sky tore apart suddenly, disrupting the calm of the evening and putting a stop, as well, to the busy, teeming noise of Istanbul. For a moment, the Bosphorus - the place where the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and Asia and Europe, all meet - came to a standstill, a brief, stunned halt before the wrath from the gods of rain bore down on it. The city of Istanbul, too, came to a stop for an instant. The Bosphorus Bridge crosses the strait, linking both sides of Istanbul, and also both continents, the East and the West. Battered by the storm, the friendship bridge seemed fragile.
At the heart of human history, the Bosphorus has always been the scene where empires were made and unmade: the site for the confrontation between the Persians and the Greeks; the route for the Crusaders, surging toward the East, driven by the thirst for conquest; and the setting, on the heights of Istanbul, for the Palace of Topkapi, from which the Ottoman emperors ruled over the world for five centuries. While covering various stories in Turkey, I witnessed the richness and the fractures of the country’s culture, both the result of the tension between modernization and tradition, between East and West.
