  • 13 years ago
Take a tour of Istanbul at Sunset in Turkey – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Istanbul, the once capital of the Roman Empire, has a lengthy and often tumultuous narration of history.

This history ironically comes to light as the dying sun’s rays linger on its ethereal architecture.

A strikingly unique characteristic of Istanbul is that it is the only bi-continental city in the world, spanning both Asia and Europe.

The cultures of these continents have blended resulting in this remarkable city.

This beauty erupts at sunset, the lines of the buildings and the cross cultural features of this immaculate city are highlighted during this time of ambiguity linking the bright day and star filled night.

The warm colors of the waning sun wash the city in an aesthetic, soothing glow.

Istanbul's location on the Bosporus creates an intense and unparalleled sunset over two seas.
