News.
I guess I promised myself or these imaginary readers of my blog to do my best to provide new and good photographs this weekend. Well… It’s not gonna happen. I am so embarrassed to create this post right now but here are the facts from this week that probably will make me stay home.
1. This Tuesday all of sudden, I heard a weird sound in my kneecap when I tried to get up from my chair. Then it has gotten worse that it didn’t even allow me to walk properly. Then it disappeared for a day which was on Wednesday. Today, It came back again and I can’t walk.
2. So I went to see this crazy doctor. He told me that I have “meniscus tear” and I needed to take this “TINY” surgery to fix it. Well, I didn’t like the idea. So I am going to see different doctors and get an MRI scan before I decide on tiny things.
This is why I won’t be able to get around the city just yet. But again, I promise here that this challenge is going to be finished… soon!
We took a trip to the mountain that we have in Güzelbahce with my friend. My intention was to take some photographs in the three villages of the mountain there. However, the photos I took was not good enough to be in the challenge so I didn’t wanna put them here. Instead, I took a photo of my friend’s bike and I quite like it. So here it is.
By the way, the challenge hasn’t finished or I didn’t give up. These days, I can’t find the time to get around the city to find the moments I want to capture. This weekend, I will try my best to bring some good streets here.
- Teacher: Why did you not study?
- Me: A year has 365 days for you to study. After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that is way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year, hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days, you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days... You're left with 1 day! But that 1 day is your birthday!

Photo #6 was taken in Guzelbahçe, a lovely place I live in. Well, it’s a matter of perception of course; but I like the picture.

Photo #5 was a little far away than the other four. It’s a street in Urla, Iskele. I don’t even know if it’s a street, but it is definitely worth being here for my challenge.
Urla Iskele, Hospital Road,

Photo #4 was taken in Karataş. There is this tiny street that you feel only nostalgia when you go walk in it.

Photo #3 was taken in Bornova. This is a very special one among all the other so-called modernized streets. I took its picture as soon as I saw it.
82nd Street, Bornova.

More to come.
Challenge - Update v.2.1
Hi,
So from now on, I won’t be adding the location here in my blog. Well it’s because of two things. One is that it’s too hard for me to memorize the exact location of the photo taken by heart, and two is that I don’t like the way it looks with this theme.
Photos I took have got their location saved already. So I will be including a maps link under the address in each post.
Hope it will be better this way.
I will always be happy to have your recommendations in my ask box.
Thanks..
Photo #2. This is again taken in Alsancak and it is very close to the previous one.
