Fatih is one of the most observant areas of old Istanbul.
Women in full Muslim garb is a very common sight.
Fatih also overlaps some of the most popular tourist areas around Sultanahmet Square.
So buildings the surely once housed blacksmiths, tinsmiths, household goods shops and other neighborhood retail have long been converted to host global consumerism.
The juxtaposition of dignified Islamic women.
And the dreaded Golden Arches.
Was too interesting to pass up.
