Dear ROBERT,
After you have gone everything is the same. Ships are carriying people between Asia and Europe every day. Handsome men are getting lost at Haydarpaşa Train Station...They are selling ill baby ducks at the animal market...I am watching busy old ladies running to "Prince's Islands". Thinking about the funny moments at " Junkies couch "...How can we know that gypsies are going to arrange a huge street party for celebrating "Hidrellez"- A kind of spring celebrating festival- on the street that we walk up and down together.....It was increadable. If you plan to visit Istanbul It must be at beginning of may next time....

I went to join the party and I was alone...I capture many incredable moments with my camera...And so happy that there were no "crmnl" approach to anybody even if they get drunk...They generously offer some drinks to me either, non of them were pure fruit-juices. Even I got drunk in 2 hours...They helped to tourists and behave gentle to each other...You will find some photos about the musicians and people like us are enjoying together....It is not easy to choose again, but think that it is only for having an idea about the fest... People who had that night will have good memories with themselves when they were back on their way to home


( thanks too much for the canvas to )


Here some snapshots shows also people of every age knows the way to enjoy;

Also the musuicans are so enthusiastic and they are dancing with people or peole dancing with the musicians...I can not decide wihich dedicion is more accurate...


And the steets are full of laughter and rhythm of music. my friend captured that joy very successfully...
