So many different reasons take us to different roads, cities. I travel to different countries and cities- sometimes because of business trips such as research expeditions and symposiums, sometimes because of the fact that I like to be on the road. At the end of the day there are many frames in my memory and my camera... Of course these are not the professional ones, but only fractions of time...
GRANADA
Hot cylinders on cold asphalt extending to Balat Plain
(Söke/Aydın)
INTO THE FOG
In my opinion, Aydın is one of the most fascinating provinces of Turkey... From one of its most beautiful corners- a wet morning drive towards the hills of Bozdogan…
ON THE WAY TO THE SOUTH
“Heaven” is often placed “somewhere up” in the texts of different religions. You can go to the heaven by ascension… But here, it seems easier to reach there… You can go down the hill, unflaggingly…
(Söke/ From Doğanbey to Dilek Peninsula)
A CONTINENTAL KISS
While leaving Istanbul ... Asia has reached Europe and the Black Sea to Marmara... I don’t know whether they are saying goodbye or gathering. Sure, they are kissing in both ways…
(The Bosporus/Istanbul)
THE TWO COASTS OF THE NERETVA
In Mostar... While the painful bridge is recovering…
(Mostar / Bosnia and Herzegovina)
THE HERITAGE OF MINOAN
The Palace of Knossos, reminiscent of the Minoan whose remains were almost reconstructed by the archaeologist, Arthur Evans...
(Crete / Greece)
THE PARHENON
I think it was one of the most comfortable and easy-going, carefree travels... We sailed from one side of the Aegean to the other by sea. Parthenon's translucent pillars as human skin and face stones were quite hot. It was like wearing that summer day.
(Athens / Greece)
GOOD TIMES AT THE SEASIDE
The Dalmatian coast, Adriatic
(Dubrovnik / Croatia)
.
ALONG THE RIDGE OF THE GREAT WALL
In Beijing, it was sweeping in harmony with the topography... I was mumbling “to be a rock but not to roll” rather than “another brick in the wall” on it.
(Beijing / People's Republic of China)
SITTIN' ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY
A gift from Jørn Utzon... Reminds me the Otis Redding Classic
(Sydney/Australia)
A WELLHOLE FOR SUN
Now I don't remember if he was going up or down... It was 2012 and that was the view of my hotel room in Shenzhen.
