On a cold December 2009 day I walked along the sea to the west, and took many shots along the road. The View Map option under pictures may help you locate where I took them. I find the straits are fine under any conditions, but with fresh snow here and there in the distance they were top notch.

This is just past Havuzlar Şehitliği. I have often walked in the hills to its north.

Not knowing myself what I took a picture of I have since been informed this is a pine nut, with the seeds missing. Thanks for that information.
