Apart
from tourist symbols and popularity of Paris, the River Seine accumulates the
stories worth to be told about this city, such as the sad history of the city,
somber stories and their heroes, along with the river that carries their
melancholy… Tuğba Yüksel photographed Paris over the River Seine.
