We toured Topkapi Palace on our 2013 visit to Istanbul. Since it was very crowded and I did not feel like standing in line to go into a museum, I stayed outside and photographed whatever I found. Part of what I found was very interesting trees, especially their bark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will start with the famous hollow tree. I read that a fungus attacked but not kill some of the trees, and some became hollow. (I think the black interior of the hollow tree was applied by man, not nature.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topkapi Palace has four courtyards, all of them lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked closer and realized how strange and beautiful the bark of the trees was, so here are some of the types of bark I found at Topkapi Palace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And last, a lovely tree in front of the Imperial Mint, and a fall leaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
