A beautiful sunset at the seaside of Kusadasi with the boat harbor not far away the clouds rolling backwards taking away with them the last rays of the days sun like a giant the earth takes its last look around as the heavy eyelids of the night close down the blanket of darkness wraps itself around the exhausted earth I look at this wonderful relaxing view from our hotel room taking it forever with me the end of the day, but also my first photo the beginning of something perhaps an adventure?

Vitaly Bachinsky

A morning in Priene, green all over the hills with trees like buildings in a city and ruins looking like people rushing to those buildings.
