The Watchtower – Morning Light in Galata

Some cities whisper their history. Istanbul sings it down alleys.

This is Galata before the bustle begins—when the cobblestones still echo yesterday and the sunlight hasn’t yet been diluted by crowds. A lone scooter rests at the edge of the frame, waiting. Not for someone, but for movement. Above it all, the Galata Tower stands like a sentinel caught between past and present, stone and sky.

It doesn’t dominate. It rises. Quietly. Powerfully. As if it’s not trying to be seen, but simply refusing to be forgotten.

The buildings lean inward, like elders sharing secrets. The red awnings hang low, casting warm shadows onto shuttered storefronts. This is a street you don’t rush through—you arrive into it. Like memory. Like prayer.
