Street Life

I don't know about you, but I'm struggling to get going today, so while I try and get my life organised for a busy last week at home, here are a few photos I took in Sultanahmet (the old city) in Istanbul. I'm always amazed at how diverse and thriving this area is.

I took this photo, trying to get a good look at the MASSIVE crowd walking down the street - but I took it by holding my camera above my head (the street is a hill so I need the extra height) and didn't zoom in enough, but if you squint you can still see the mass of humanity we had to weave our way through.

A quiet street just outside the grand bazaar, it is quickly becoming my team's go to spot when we are shopping and need to stop for a drink and treat before we continue our bargaining.





How was your weekend? Are you having as hard a time as I am letting go of it today and getting back to work?

I think the best solution for me today is turn Adele on and rock out the morning: Set Fire to the Rain. Pin It

Giveaway: End of the Long Winter

I've discovered some amazing music as I've searched for ways to brighten my dreary days this winter.  These songs have taken me away, kept me warm and helped me dream.  Now that Spring is starting to break through, I think it is time I share some of my favorites.

Here's how this little giveaway is going to work.  Comment and share at least one awesome song you've discovered in 2011 by the end of the day Monday, April 11 (the day I'll be doing my civic duty and serving on a jury.)  You can double your chances of winning by adding a second comment if you are a follower.  I'll use random.org to pick a winner, which I will post on Wednesday.

I haven't narrowed down the mix completely yet, but I have a feeling it will start with this song:

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

Want more music?  Hop over to Inspiration Studio, where this week we are putting together a playlist that celebrates everyday gifts.
