Guns at sundown

This afternoon a friend and I went for a walk along the waterfront path in Kadikoy. It was cold and clear, with beautiful skies just pinkening as the day approached sunset. All very serene. That is, until the point at which we saw the holster of a gun emerge from the jacket of the hooded man standing in front of us. He then took the gun out completely and we saw him proffer the handle to a passing group of young guys to whom he seemed to be offering a price. It was just so understated that he might as well have been feeding the pigeons...

Much to my disappointment, he didn't make the same offer to my friend and me as we passed him - I guess I've still got a bit of work to do on that bad-girl image.
