Photo location: side street in Istanbul, Turkey
As I was exploring the side streets of Istanbul around the Chora Chuch Museum, I came across these colorful upholstered chairs set out on the sidewalk. I could not figure out why they were there. It was a residential street. If they were in front of a shop, then the shop was closed. What’s more, the street was on a hill so sitting in the chairs would not have been level. Still, I liked how colorful they were even if they did seem out of place.
Thanks for visiting.
