Inside Taksim (II)
These are a few pictures of how Taksim Square looks like this morning (Tuesday, 4 June). As you can see, life around the square continues very much as normal. Life inside the square is amazingly peaceful. If you are in town – don’t be afraid to come to the square. The protestors are extremely friendly, peaceful and will readily speak to foreigners and explain what is going on.
The main square – very much business as usual (with a few flags)
