People- A La Turka

Selling belts. It seems whatever people decide to sell here, wherever, there's someone that's interested.

Nice kids in Bergama.

Local fountain in the bazaar in Izmir.

Windsurfing off of Assos. This guy fell on his Assos more times than he sailed actually.

Yeah right. Turkish drivers might, might, stop for a kid, but only if they hurry up.

A stroll in the hot Turkish sun.









The roaming Trafik Polisi.









An outdoor tea house.









Sunday Drive.










One alley in Izmir's huge bazaar.










They're shooting a bibi gun at balloons, and the dude looks like he
wants to shoot me next.

Catching the train in Izmir

A nice sunset walk in Canakkale

An old Greek village below the Acropolis in Bergama


Folks chillin in the park in Bergama. Chillin' is something Turks know how to do, especially the old folks.












Yes, they're about to get run over by the crazy Turkish drivers, and she's on the phone, not worried.










Communist Party get together.










Ataturk's mausoleum, Ankara. This man is highly revered in this country for what he did, which was basically save, then create the modern Turkish Republic. You see his picture in almost every building, sometimes every room, and statues in many of the cities.
