Father and Daughter

In their memory, RIP

Ali Ismail Kormaz just left our world to rest with his brothers who like him, just peacefully protested, exercising their democratic elementary rights. Thursday we met and walked to remember him and the reasons we have to stand up. Many are recovering from their wounds, sometime marked forever, sometime fighting for their life directly hit by tear-gas shells.

The Van cats

This beautiful Van Cat young mother is not happy about my intrusion, she first swiftly pushed her blue eyed son in house and than came back staring at me with her piercing yellow eyes in such unfriendly way.

Van Cats are not a breed but a true race one can find in the wild around the lake of Van even if they become rare, they have yellow or blue eyes, sometime one of each, and beautiful white hair. There is a trade of them but often made of bred lookalike van cats, true Van Cats are really hard to find. I do not know actually if this pair is pure race.

But what a regard!

In their Memory

After the police forces cleaned out the small camp set in Alsancak in support of Gezi proptests remain only a handful of trees planted in memory of our brothers killed in the events. May the trees grow strong and tall, and our dreams come true along! 

Kids and Pigeons

Pigeons gather in the park where people sit for a while drinking tea and eating simit (O shaped bread with sesame), they have not a chance to run hungry here. What a better game but running through the flock?

Lady

Brugge

I arrived in Brugge for the dinner, I first planned to make some night shots, the sky was grey and the light awful anyway, after a day of sporadic showers the evening was bathed by a terrible greyish light when suddenly the sky cleared and a beautiful light shadowed streets and canals. Finally night falls late and I renounced to the night shot, maybe another time.
