One of a mixed bag of pictures taken at Balat. The neighbourhood seems to become popular with (Turkish) tourists, I expect it will be gentrified, the first signs are there. On a Sunday I ran into very many photographers, some gathered in a club. The locals were a bit non-plussed.

Though there are many houses about to collapse I think they may well be restored rather than to be torn down (as happened before). This will probably lead to another neighbourhood with "old" houses, that cannot be afforded by the last occupants.
