"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live." - Dorothy Thompson _ Streets of Istanbul. _ This is the neighborhood of Fener. One of the many historic areas of this ancient city. Shot captured in February 2016. _ This month's attacks in Istanbul were tragic. But these sorts of events won't stop us from travelling, in fact all the more reason to. Other cities like Brussels, Paris, Madrid and London have also been touched by tragedy in recent times. But to keep it in perspective, the chance of being injured in a terrorist attack is infinitely smaller than a shark attack. But chances are you're happy to swim in the ocean (unless you just watched Jaws). We still use common sense and avoid active war zones, but don't let fear dictate and define your life. Life's too short. _ #prayforturkey #oneistanbul
