Wintery Scene


This was a few weeks ago now, when there was a lot of snow around. Now the snow has retreated to Uludag, although we will probably have more before the end of winter. The photo was taken looking across from Guzelyalı, where the ferry to Istanbul leaves.

Who left these simits here?


I couldn't see who was selling them, I'm sure he would come back quickly as soon as a customer came though.

Korupark Houses


I'm not sure what happened here - everything came out at a funny angle. These are some of Bursa's newest houses, right next to the Korupark shopping centre.

The wind never blows when you want it to


Unfortunately the wind would not blow so that I could get the flag properly. It makes an interesting combination.

Yes Man


No that's not a man hanging off the side of the shopping mall, it is an advert for Jim Carey's latest film Yes Man. The cinema is up there on the top floor.
