After all the strict lock-downs every weekend, here in Istanbul. There are a ton of dolphins swimming in the Bosphorus straight. I've been told by locals there are normally not so many around.
I sit on the balcony each weekend and see dolphins swimming about every single day. Sometimes they're very close to land.
My theory is, they're around, due to drastically less boat traffic. Either way, they sure seem happy humans aren't around.
- toyg 6y agoAh man, you’ve given me nostalgia - the strait is so beautiful, and I loved the city. I will be back, sooner or later.
- dmix 6y agoThat must be a nice view. Do you see a lot of warships or other interesting stuff crossing the straight?
- kilroy123 6y agoOh yeah, I see all kinds of random industrial ships go by. I've only seen one small warship. I haven't been here long, I just sort of got stuck here in Istanbul and I'm waiting out the pandemic.
- tehlike 6y agoI am from Istanbul. My elementary school was near (but not next to) marmara sea. This was probably 24 years ago. I loved the sight of dolphins, it would make my day. Good times.
