Turkey's National Photography Achieve Project Launched

After touring the Pera-Asmalımescit area, which represents the West-East synthesis, the clouds, escorted by seagulls, turned to the Historical Peninsula. Greeting the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Maiden Tower and the Süleymaniye Mosque there, they flew over the Golden Horn.

Amid the screams of the local and foreign tourists in the Galata Tower, the turquoise and purple clouds disappeared with the last lights of the sun.

The mystery of this interesting event which took place in İstanbul at sunset on Sept. 20, has just been revealed.

İstanbul-based www.stockistanbul.com and www.stockturkey.com international, stock photography websites for which preparations began in 2009, have announced their inauguration by releasing balloons from various parts of İstanbul.

Purple balloons represented the www.stockistanbul.com, where images only about İstanbul will be on sale while the turquoise balloons represented the www.stockturkey.com where images  from Turkey as well as those from across the world, will be put up for sale.
