I'm sure we are all aware of the puzzle posed by Anthony LA. Where was that photo taken?

Here is the answer.

The photo is of a bustling street in the Istanbul suburb of Bakirkoy.




This photo was taken by a photographer named Faruk, a member of the wowturkey.com community, and posted there. Check out his portfolio.

(Note: I grabbed a copy of his photo to put onto flickr.com, just to avoid stealing bandwith from the wowturkey.com site and avoid Dailykos traffic crashing that site. I do not intend to steal Faruk's intellectual property. He takes great pictures, by the way!)

For comparison purposes, here is the photo Kaloogian claims he or his staff took in Baghdad:
