Istanbul, A spellbinding city where cultures collide. Over the centuries, many cultures have added their mark to Istanbul. Today, you can experience those influences firsthand by exploring its mahalles (neighbourhoods). From the holy sites of Sultanahmet and the 19th-century European elegance of Beyoğlu to the high fashion of Nişantaşı, the vibrant cafe society of Kadıköy and the football-loving streets of Beşiktaş, it’s easy to see why travellers say that Istanbul isn’t just one city, but multiple cities within one ~ Tripadvisor

Antalya City is one of the prominent and modern cities of Turkey that has a number of tourist sites. As the city encompasses the Mediterranean coastline, it has plenty of stunning beaches and scenic destinations. Some of the regions have mountains on the backdrop along with the blue sea which makes them even more alluring. The mesmerizing waterfalls, rivers and lush green of Antalya are exceptional.

We just finished a 5 day long contest on the theme “stripes” in collaboration with Chumbak, India’s leading fashion and home decor brand. Members were asked to post their shots based on that theme on Facebook and Instagram.

It’s always fun to see members come up with outstanding photographs on weekly themes. Stripes seems to interest street photographers quiet a bit as we saw a rise in the number of entries. A total of 1576 images were posted for the weekly challenge and it only made the task of the curators harder. (we do enjoy it though)

Here is set of images that made the cut.
