This image depicts a narrow, upward-sloping cobblestone street in the Balat neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey, specifically featuring the minaret of the Mesih Mehmed Paşa Camii in the background under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a light-colored, multi-story building with ornate balconies runs along the left. Parked at the bottom left is a dark scooter/motorcycle next to a covered pile of objects. The street, paved with dark cobblestones, slopes noticeably uphill. Two individuals are walking uphill in the center of the street; one wears a light-colored top and dark trousers, the other a patterned top and light trousers. A light-colored minivan is parked facing uphill on the right side of the street. On the right, a darker, multi-story building with a contemporary facade features multiple awnings and metal railings, and a prominent vertical metal pipe running up its side. A person in a dark jacket stands on the sidewalk near the parked van. In the mid-ground and background, the street continues its ascent towards the minaret of the Mesih Mehmed Paşa Camii. The minaret has a stone base, a slender brick shaft with a single balcony, and a pointed conical gray roof with a finial. The mosque structure below the minaret has stone walls and an arched window with a grill. A street light pole is visible to the right of the minaret. Behind the mosque and to its left, several older residential buildings constructed of red brick feature multi-pane windows and distinct bay window structures. A red circular 'No Entry' traffic sign is visible below the minaret, on the right side of the street. The sky is uniformly light gray and overcast.
