Wow! Nice pictures you got here. I would also love to visit Turkey. Heard that they have nice places and very delicious foods.
I really enjoyed my time in Turkey when I was there a few years back, and I hope to visit again and spend more time in this fascinating country. Goreme was my favourite location, but there is so much more to see!
The last two pictures are contrasts at their best. I’m sure your personal experience in Turkey has been as as delightfully diverse as these pictures as well..:)
