Bollards of Istanbul
Upon arrival in Istanbul, I started noticing the great variety of bollards, sometimes there are even as many as 10 different bollards in the same street. We walk by them every day, but they seem invisible to most people.
I decided to document the immense variation and so raise questions about their effectiveness and the amount of money wasted on these objects.
