Hello Bülent,
I think these steps run parallel to an equally steep street, without steps, that I have walked many times. The topography is no doubt one of many reasons for Istanbul's great charm, even though some areas can be tough for those who are no longer very young. In this photo the two ladies of course play major roles but the black railings also make a fine and slightly uneven pattern along the staircase.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Bulent
i don't remember these steps in Istanbul! Darn, i missed them when I was here. and you're right, it really does make for an excellent photographic subject.

the 2 women are vital to the scene, and i especially like how they're together side by side so closely, as if they're stuck together.

Also, the black hand rails rise up the slope in a zig zag pattern, how cool is that! splendid shot
cheers
Craig

Güzel bir belge fotograf olmuş, her basamakta o yaşta bir insan hayal ettim; son bir iki blok boş kaldı.
Her şey gönlünüzce olsun,
iyi akşamlar

Hello Bülent,
That's indeed quite a climb for both ladies.
At the top, two men are resting before starting the descent :)
I've been in Istanbul many years ago but I cannot remember to have seen these stairs.
I wonder what the buildings at both sides are. There's nowhere an entrance to be found. Are these just the side walls of buildings whose entrance is in the street at the top or bottom?
I do see a nameplate right below the two flags. Perhaps there's an entrance of a building.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Bulent,
A great view of these steep stairs. The two ladies are very well included indeed and so is the couple at the top of the stairs, who might be having a rest there after completing the long climb up the many steps.

Hello Bulent,

Thank you for your comments on my photos of the Iguazu Falls. As you yourself said "There are no" bad "vantage points to shoot the Iguacu Falls". It's good to know that you've been visiting in person.

I also find the place incredible, I have visited several times, because it is very close to my city, about 800 kilometers of highways.

Your photo of this grand staircase is very good. While showing the ambiance and the large size of the staircase, it also shows much of the city's everyday life.

This city is certainly a place that I would also like to meet.

Big hug from Brazil.
