The European side of the Sultan Mehmet Bridge, one of Istanbul’s iconic bridges that was shut down during the attempted military coup today, July 15, 2016. Such a beautiful, unique, and perplexing city…made me sad to hear about and see the turmoil and violence racking its historic sites and resilient people. Not sure who’s right and who’s wrong in this conflict, but the city and the country deserve neither the physical nor the psychic damage it will experience.
