Freaking awesome pics.... it inspired me to wander over to wikipedia to find out more about the city, and I found this. Seems to be appropriate... from the 1870's:
Instanbul is a great city with an amazing amount of history. Density although is an understatement! My father in law talks of growing up there when his family had a house in the city. It is now an apartment building, which his family still owns, in the middle of a thousand other apartment buildings. Its hard to imagine houses with yards ever in the city.

"Dazzled by the needles of light stitching the water, I turned to watch him watch them. I noticed his eyelashes were reflected in his eyes, like awning in windowpanes. As I tried to make sense of that reflection, I found I could not look away. His irises were brown, clouding into orange with brighter flecks around his pupils. Then it became as important not to look as to look, I feared I would be lost in rush of bronze motes."
