With Mina in Istanbul

May 27, 2009 by Cemal Ekin

I arrived in Istanbul on May 19, a national holiday for “Youth and Sports”. Very fitting for my arrival I thought! Elif and Mina were here already, the next day they came to visit, Tolga and Serap with them. On May 22 we got into two cars and drove to Ayvalik. The plan was to leave one car here for the summer. We took the fast ferry to Mudanya then drove to Ayvalik in about 4 hours, including a stop at “Degirmen” (The Mill) for a quick bite to eat. Mina enjoyed running around on the grass, even found some chairs that were the same color as her jacket. The next stop was Ayvalik, Mina and Elif stayed at the guest house, which she called “our house”. She really likes gardens, flowers, and the big fish pond. Here are some photographs from the first leg of the trip.

Below are some snippets of information I found interesting and noteworthy to share with the visitors of this site. They will change from time to time, have your bookmarks if you like any; they may disappear from here without notice.

Meet Adnan Onart

Adnan is a fellow countryman and a photographer from Boston. I missed his recent exhibit due to the weather and my being under the weather! But, he has put together a small website to make the show available online with explanations for each photograph. I highly recommend you visit the site, you will not be disappointed.

A Shadow, Adnan Onart

WordPress Themes

I use and recommend StudioPress Themes. They are reliable, well-designed, and well-maintained. Actually, I started using a theme much before it became a part of StudioPress, Revolution!
