Splash!

We went to Mudanya and some children were having fun throwing stones into the water. Otherwise it was very calm and clear.

Candy Floss stand

Somehow I always thought candy floss was for the summer, but it seems I am wrong :)

Deserted

"this photo is taken in mudanya 30 km from bursa ..a nice little town...it was nicer before when we used to swim in the sea.the water is not clean any more unfortunatelly ...it seems clean but they found louds of collibasili(microbs) that can be dangerous..anyway the people are still swimming in the hot summer days ...you can see it feels like deserted but it is not...louds of appartments had been built up in the hills ...but still you have the sea to look at and feel like deserted:))"

Big and small

This is also at Mudanya. There is a small harbour where cargo boats sometimes dock. They are usually carrying sand. Maybe the small boat was helping to bring yesterday's fish..

More fish

I've posted a photo of the fish market at Mudanya before but yesterday we got there early and there was a lot more fish than usual.

If you look carefully maybe you can also see the different fish which are found at this time of year. The most common fish here are sea bass and sea bream, which are available all year round. Yesterday there was also red mullet, mackerel and bonito.

Take a break

The pigeons were enjoying a bit of sun on top of the restaurant.

Dinner by moonlight

Another view of the pier at Mudanya. This time the weather was better and we managed to sit outside. It's a bit dark but hopefully something can be seen...

Picnic

A snack and a chat in front of the sea.

Mudanya fish market

Super fresh fish on the market at Mudanya, which is by the sea. The most popular fish are sea bass and sea bream.

Gone Fishing

"i've never liked fishing..it seems they do ...."

Funny Adverts

"ezgi beer house is near the sea side ....they are serving the best turkish beer brand and the oldest one called Efes...."

Fishermen

"this photo is for yesterday ...had some problems with internet...so now here are some fisherman with their little boat from mudanya.."

Corn lovers

Enjoying their corn.

Montanya Hotel

This hotel in Mudanya used to be the railway station. Now there is no railway any more, and the building has been turned into a hotel and restaurant. It has a very nice position next to the sea.

Corn

"here is a typical corn seller ..a sunny sunday from Mudanya....normally heree they eat boiled salty corns...yamyamyam.."

Spring Flowers

I think these flowers are very pretty and unusual. They were growing by the sea in Mudanya.

Mudanya seafront

Mudanya is on the edge of the Marmara sea and about 20 minutes from the centre of Bursa. The seafront is a nice place for a walk when the weather is good.

Unfortunately the sea is quite polluted because many boats pass on their way between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
