Autumn colours

Autumn colours are starting to show. This is one of many peach orchards on the fertile plains just outside Bursa.

Autumn Leaves

The leaves are starting to turn autumnal these days. I like these colourful red ones.

Olive Groves

Outside Bursa towards a small town called Gemlik are olive groves which produce olives and olive oil for consumption all over Turkey. By the side of the road around Gemlik there are shops selling delicious olive oil, soaps and other olive oil products.

New motorway

This was taken on the new motorway that runs around the top of Bursa. At the moment it doesn't go anywhere else, but they are working to extend it and hopefully at some point it will connect with Istanbul and Izmir. It would certainly shorten the journey times to have a good road.

You can probably tell from the photo, we are having a lot of rain at the moment!

Evening Sun

A very normal street, but I liked the way the evening sun is shining through the tree.

Autumn Sky

Today for the first time the weather is starting to feel autumnal. The temperature has dropped around 10 degrees (C) in the last 3 days. As you can see from these clouds, there is rain as well.
