The ever moving towers strike again.

Mavi Boncuk | 

The ability of the supporters of the city silhouette to see the Zeytinburnu Towers is in question again. The opposition must agree at what location they must patch the towers in these crude photoshopped views.

Zeytinburnu Towers and the Silhouette of Istanbul. We must ask ourselves. Why, who and for what aim millions are following fake news and assumptions instead of using science and common sense. If towers have to be adjusted. What about Taksim hotels. The Marmara destroys the historic first glimpse of travelers arriving to Istanbul.

This time from the air with a telephoto lens. This is no silhouette. This is a lie.

Lie 1 http://maviboncuk.blogspot.com/2014/03/zeytinburnu-towers-and-silhouette-of.html\


[1] 1798, from French silhouette, in reference to Étienne de Silhouette (1709-1767), French minister of finance in 1759. Usually said to be so called because it was an inexpensive way of making a likeness of someone, a derisive reference to Silhouette's petty economies to finance the Seven Years' War, which were unpopular among the nobility. But other theories are that it refers to his brief tenure in office, or the story that he decorated his chateau with such portraits. Silhouette portraits were so called simply because they came into fashion in the year (1759) in which M. de Silhouette was minister. [A. Brachet, "An Etymological Dictionary of the French Language," transl. G.W. Kitchin, 1882] Used of any sort of dark outline or shadow in profile from 1843. The verb is recorded from 1876, from the noun. The family name is a Frenchified form of a Basque surname; Arnaud de Silhouette, the finance minister's father, was from Biarritz in the French Basque country; the southern Basque form of the name would be Zuloeta or Zulueta, which contains the suffix -eta "abundance of" and zulo "hole" (possibly here meaning "cave").
