A street market...kind of Dolcis on the riverbank.



This guy sat in the park and people came to him to have him write letters for them. He was kept very busy.



And this guy was in Uskudar. He had some scales where you could "check you health". Other health-specialists had rulers to measure height too, but this guy was just running with the basic fatty check.















Along the river banks everyone was fishing. All the men had their own rods and there was a guy renting rods (or so it seemed). I don't know that I'd want to eat anything that came out of the water there but that didn't seem to bother anyone else.



There were many stalls like this - barely more than a tray set up on a trestle on the pavement. They were popular with the fishermen. I guess a hard days angling makes you hungry for some lemony mussels. There was also a geezer serving the fishermen tea from a small portable canteen. The spirit of free-enterprise.















These boats were quayside near the Galata Bridge. And they were busy. With so many ferries on the river it seemed impossible to work on them as the wake from the passing boats would send them rocking from side to side violently.
