Great photos Metin and I love the flowers as they add life to the drab snow covered background. Well done. Don't get much snow down here in Florida unlike when I used to live in New Jersey.

Artist Reply: thank you Donald..Actually,Istanbul has a mild climate (subtropical) and even if it snows, it won't stay more than a few days..
