Beşiktaş Fish Market

In the early days, when Ville and I just wrote, he would tell me about beautiful places in the city. One of these was a particular time of day in the Beşiktaş Fish Market. He described the mix of artificial light and fading natural light at dusk. For a time the light sources are complementary before darkness falls. When I arrived I wanted to see it for myself but it had been demolished and work started on a modern replacement. One day I was walking past and saw exactly the mix of light he had meant, the new market has at least some of the charm of the old. Having Anton with me (and limited skills) I didn't attempt to capture the subtleties of dusk but I love the hanging light-bulbs and the glow of the fish.
