Barinak Café

The Barinak Café (Barinak is Shelter or Refuge) was erased in autumn 2011 because of new regulations about the gestion of restaurants on the sea front. It was a perfect place to profit of the sun in winter time and also a beautiful spot to watch the sun disappearing behind the marshes.

After the rain a shy sunlight pierces the clouds and light up the promenade of the gulf shore

The quarter pipe (archives)

Kids plays at dusk in the roller park. While the front kid tries to grab to 2.5 meter pipe's edge his friends look at him from the next slope. Another kid in the back tries the second quarter pipe while a small group in the far profit of the dying sunlight. 

Supper's Time

It is supper’s time, the crowd already deserted the gulf shore to reach homes or restaurants and seek for a warm meal. Days are still quiet burning but nights get rapidly cold after the sun meet the horizon. Two kids in the skatepark discuss the last figures before heading for home.

Sunset time, laziness time

Here is a quiet scape of the Izmir north shore. An Iphone shot this time, I was somehow like lazy this evening :)

Sunset on the bay

The summer is late, we have to do with a cold wind and 18-20 celsius. Not really what we are accustomed to. But the bay in the evening and the dimmed sunlight is as always stunning.
