Flamingos' fly

While the spring already shows his rays over the bay more than a hundred of flamingos prepare themselves for the long flies ahead. They mainly rest in the marshes situated at the bay2s north end where the delta meanders and the salt basins offer a perfect "gîte et couvert" (board and bed).

Latmos mountains

On the road to Marmaris between Mugla and Cine the road passes along the Latmos Mountains and winds between strange smooth shaped rocks. The afternoon light reinforces the strangeness of the giant stones. 

Christmas shopping

Some shops prepare themselves for Christmas, here is the front pergola of a local patisserie

Merry Christmas

A band dressed in Saint-Nicholas' red suits and hats with their white beards is playing in the streets of the mall (Izmir, Forum in Bornova), accompanying a tall Santa-Klaus on stilts. The attraction surely pleased children and parents and made a great success despite the relative cold weather.
