stop global warming.. agreed but unfortunate to see this grafiti,

1- in the remotest of places where noone can see

2- in an area where there is 0 pollution, and maksimum nature..

@ gumusluk/bodrum, turkey

this one is for "my precious" :)..

@bodrum, turkey

the light at the end of the tunnel?

@ bodrum castle, turkey

i don't know why but it looks like this cafe is being operated by ghosts or something.. and i have no idea why i am getting this obsessed with taking pictures of chairs :)

@ bodrum, turkey

back in the old erzurum homes.. doing the "kitlama" with "cay".. wondering where is the snow..

@ erzurum, turkey

pull up a chair and enjoy the mountain sun.. don't forget your salep too :)..

@ kartalkaya, turkey..

kartalkaya was never kinder.. great snow, clear blue skies, and empty slopes..

@ kartalkaya, turkey

what looks like lovely cafes on the beautiful island, is totally inaccessible during the holidays.. so don't make the same mistake, get your timing right..

@ suomenlinna island, finland

the modern art museum, kiasma, is worth while seeing for its zen-like architecture, but can't say the same for the content..

@ kiasma museum, helsinki, finland

a continuation on my craze about signs and graffitis continues on suomenlinna island.. an interesting depiction of the achtung sign..

@ suomenlinna island, finland

an unexpected touch of gothic architecture here and there throughout the city.. gives a feel of med-evil!..

@ helsinki, finland

call it an obsession, call me mad.. but i have a thing for these scandinavian roads.. undiscovered beauty in something man-made in a place where even God forgot..

@ rovaniemi, finland..

this feeling of emptiness that resides in everything, including this gas station at 9am actullay does not make you feel alone.. and its also very esthetic for reasons i cannot define..

@ gas station south of arctic circle, finland

hours and hours on road with pretty much the same view.. i would not be exaggerating if i were to say that 1 hour ago the same view, 1 hour later the same view.. all is empty..

@ a road south of the arctic circle, sweden

you might think its 4 in the morning but its more like 10am.. this sun down effect in the sky is permanent during the 4-5 hours of daylight they have..

@ a road close to the sweedish border, arctic circle, finland

inherent existence..

simplicity, minimalism and a feeling of emptyness resides in everything..

@ arcticum museum, rovaniemi, finland

and as to how to manage the cold.. actually quite simple..

absolute ice bar + vodka

@ ice hotel, jukkasjarvi, sweden

over night accommodations in the ice hotel is just too cold for my blood..

@ ice hotel, jukkasjarvi, sweden

oh are we popular or what.. santa receives some serious mail.. who would have guessed..
@ santa claus village, rovaniemi, finland

@ a husky farm in rovaniemi, finland

this is what must be considered hot in the arctic circle.. get out your bikinis and speedos!
