Turks' Burqa

Yep, this is me! And what the hell am i wearing? Burqa! The Burqa is a piece of clothing that covers a woman from head to foot. There is an opening for the eyes, but the rest of the body, except the hands, are covered. 

The burqa is usually made of light clothing, and is essentially outerwear for some Muslim women in some regions. And in my case here, it's Istanbul!

The Burqa is worn when women leave their homes, over their indoor clothes. The garment itself is a symbolic of a specific tradition and criticisms of women who wear Burqas are usually not about the garment itself, however it is about what it stands for.

Well, dare to wear girls?

Birds of Galata

My husband took this beautiful footage of a bird that was about to fly away, along side Bosphorus, Istanbul.
