Adana mrt 2008 3042.jpg

This is one of a set of pictures in newly built parts of town to the Northwest of the centre. I show them to indicate the city is not just old houses. Unfortunately such parts of towns tend to be so extensive that my usual method of simply strolling through an area taking pictures is not up to it, so I can only give some impressions.

I hope someone will explain this hill and the house better than I can. I believe it is called Çoban Baba.
People go there to make wishes (especially for marriage and children). If the wish comes true they return with a bag of sugar or salt or purchase one of the live chickens for sale as a sort of alms. The gift will be distributed to the poor. One must be a believer (the religion isn't so important) to be allowed to make a wish (pray).
