Istanbul @ 21:21

Istanbul night sky over the Bosphorus towards the Asian shore as seen from my sky light at the end of a fiercely stormy icy wet and wild wind kind of an evening that had deposited a frosting on the path as I walked home after a pleasant couple of hours of vittles and convivial conversation with friends at Bizim Tepe.  

Saturated sorrow from Saturday night's bombing and tonight's awful news from Aleppo, sleep didn't come for hours and even then was short lived. 

The world has gone mad. 

again.
