The roads in front of our summerhouse (yazlik), at dawn.

  • The roads in front of our summerhouse (yazlik), at dawn.
  • Pity that the water was not like a mirror. Still a nice shot. Cunda Island harbour. Fishing boats.
  • I liked the lines and the lightfall...
  • People are lined up to taste the famous 'chewing gum flavoured icecream'. Great taste!! <br /> When I took this picture, it was 11 PM e.g.: pitch dark. Shutterspeed = 1/200 sec. <br /> No tripod used!! It shows what you can do with a CANON EOS 5D MK II !!!!
  • Another 'chewing gum flavoured' icecream place...
  • At dawn, ancient building, nice light.
  • Cunda Island is buzzing with activity. Never a dull moment. Half the Istanbul population seems to be here for the summer-holiday...
  • Unbelievable: the guy in the picture just refused to step aside.<br /> I waited for 10 minutes, and he still fumbled with his toy-camera.<br /> THANK YOU!!
  • Seems that there used to be another house on the left side of this building, but that fell apart I guess..
  • Same building, taken from a different angle..
  • Small ferryboat, bringing people from Ayvalik to Cunda Island (where we stayed).
  • Cunda Island. The moon took the color of the sun!!! Orange moon....<br /> (notice the sun, seen as a reflection in the frontwindows of the white boat...)
  • Again, picture taken around 21.35, pitch dark, at 1/200 sec shutterspeed, just out of my hand (no tripod).<br /> Thanks to the Image Stabiliser in my lens...... No blurr. CANON rulez..
  • Cunda Island is nice but very touristic. But not in the winter. Then there's is NOTHING to do.
  • A shot from our balcony in the SARAY Hotel on Cunda Island) at around 7 in the morning. In the distance you see the village of Ayvalik. This area is famous for it's olives and related products.<br /> <br /> See the doghouse? (lower left corner). This dog was really a monster...
  • Another shot from the left side of our balcony (sunrise) in the SARAY Hotel on Cunda Island.<br /> In the daytime it's scorching hot here. <br /> Just look at the yellowish vegetation.
  • House next to our hotel. Nice nice.
  • Local goverment of Cunda Island doesn't do anything to prevent stray cats from breeding. Too many cats.
  • A morning stroll through the deserted streets of Cunda Island...
  • Nope, not open yet... (8 AM)
