Selling melons in old Ankara

Taken in Samanpazarı, the old part of the city.

This will probably be the last photograph in this long gallery, which I started more than five years ago but never managed to finish because there was always another place to add to it. I think I’ve covered our first four years in Turkey, and what isn’t here is in my other Turkish galleries taken with digital cameras.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Surprising old mural, posted earlier:
