"Ilyuja: he is hot, he is very hot, he is OMAR hot!" (sorry, inside joke)
man stunned by a rare moment of solitude near the Galata Bridge, Istanbul
inside the Yeni Samii, Istanbul ("New Mosque", completed in 1663)
the Yeni Samii dome
Arda watching Seva play a Vladimir Vissotski tune, on video!
arguably Seva's favorite activity, made better being in sight of the Black Sea
downtown Devrek
our hotel room in Devrek
possible screensaver from our room in Devrek
one of our favorite pastimes: playing cards in a proletarian tea room
