TOPKAPI PALACE GROUNDS, Istanbul, Turkey

 Here are some photos taken around the Topkapi Palace courtyards and in the Gulhane Park which is now a public garden but was once part of the palace.  Topkapi is not a palace in the huge building of Western sense but more a series of beautifully tiled pavilions in courtyards that hark back to the nomadic beginnings of the Turks.

Planting spring bulbs.
