After the rain


We had a beautiful weather, cold and clear after some rainy days. Depressions filled with rain water make empty places dreaming of clouds and lights.

Rainy weekend, this one was taken on such a day on my way to Konak.

Pelican



These shots are a few weeks old. Izmir's narrow gulf and the Aegean region at large lay on one of the important migration ways Between Middle East, Africa and Europe. The mild climate, abundant feed and quiet waters attire many species profiting of the land hospitality. Pelican, Stork or Flamingo are only some of them. This proud male cruised only a stone’s throw far off the shore and after giving the pose for me chased and terrorised other males and females around.

Gediz




The Gediz River's bed traces a short and narrow valley between the plains of Manisa and Menemen. Shortly after crossing the city the lazy curves drawn among the geometric fields deliver its waters to the Aegean Sea. The increasing road and railway traffic in the narrow valley may well rubber off the trace of hundreds years of a limited and green agriculture. The lonely secular olive tree on the mountain slope, the no-less no-lonely secular oak giving its shadow to the well are witness of a green past while the scare in the bush traced by the trucks witnesses the roadworks, glossing power cables bringing energy to the sites.
