Cats In Istanbul

1) Do not touch!

This cat was in the bookstore and they put a note for her, written on there: "Do not touch her! She can claw you and she can hurt you and us. Do not take pictures with flash!"

But in any case I asked the owner of the bookstore, and she let me to take her pictures. I tried to be silent and very slow but she woke and looked at me :) I understood that she didn't want me to go on and and I walked but I took one more picture too behind her, she was going on to sleep...

2) Eye Contact! Another cat and another place... The colours hit me but yes, I love cats and there is always cat in my photography!

3) High Society! This is one of the elegant districts in the city, named "Nişantaşı", there are so many cafes and boutiques, it is like a fashion point and the heart of art is in here too! So when I saw these cats, made me smile, they seemed to me so cool! Actually they were together but I couldn't catch them because I was too slow for to take their pictures together. It would be so nice to see them in the same picture .) anyway,

I love my city!

At the Kadıköy Port, I'm waiting for the ship, it is over there...

Çırağan Palace

We were on the road and I took them in the car... This is one of the gates of this historical palace, named "Çırağan Palace" at the Bosphorus. I think all world leaders stayed in this hotel.

The Power of the Colours

Colours how impressive in our life... I thought of this. Actually there are in reality no colours. The colours we see indeed depend on the light that enters our eyes from the outside world. But how impressive on us... We all have our colours, our colourful world that we build... And we know toady how important colour therapy, aims to balance and enhance our body's energy centres/chakras by using the seven colours of the light spectrum, which can help to stimulate our body's own healing process.

Anyway, while I was waiting for our friends at the street in Galata district, I noticed something and hit my eyes... Between the rusted iron stakes and broken panels... It was just the touches of the colours, what were they, I don't know, maybe they were balloon or paper ornaments... But yes, they hit me in this rusted pieces... And once again made me to think about the colours
