Inside a mosque near the Istanbul Spice market as the sun sets and the call to prayer starts.

The Istanbul spice market is one of the most interesting places in Istanbul.  To some extent its for tourists, much as the grand bazaar is, however its bustling streets are filled with food, trinkets, coffee, candy and spices.  A fantastic place to wander through and take pictures.  The spice market looks exactly like I thought it should and sometimes that’s what you’re looking for in a sightseeing experience.
