Photographer's Note
An incongruous sight of an outdoor excercise yard partly buried in the snow. In the bg is Palandoken mountain. The footprints betray a previous human presence. In the bg behind the fence is a military reserve with 'keep out' signs.

Hello Chris,
An interesting set of apparatus to be seen here, though no hardy souls to use it at the moment. The exercise frames provide some interesting graphism and help give the scene depth as we look across to the barracks and the mountainsbeyond. A pleasantly lit image with very good colours and sharpness.

Jeux d'enfants formant de bien jolies tâches de couleur sur ce fond blanc.
L'ensemble ressort magnifiquement.
J'aime beaucoup la réalisation.
Amitiés.

Hello Chris,
These outdoor gyms have sprung up in the public parks of the UK although I rarely see them used! This one has the advantage of bright colours and therefore makes an ideal photographic subject set against the winter landscape. Beautifully shot.
Kind Regards, Ann

Merhaba Chris,
I see you took this lovely shot just last week. Even in Erzurum the aphorism regarding March may be relevant, "In like a lion, out like a lamb." From the angle of the shadows it could be 9.30-10.00 in the morning or 16.30-17.00 in the afternoon. The colors are gorgeous. I was trying to get a bearing of your location relative to the mountains. I just wrote a critique for Hayati Keser hay-kes. Have you met him yet?
Warm regards,
Bulent

Hi Chris,
The distance between the yard and the mountains is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the excercise yard and of the mountains. The good luminosity is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Chris,
Il n'y a rien de plus solitaire qu'un terrain de jeux en hiver. Les couleurs sont encore attirantes pour les enfants mais le froid les éloigne.Une très belle balance des blancs.
Amicalement

Hi Chris
an evocative shot this and very effective. Snowy here in the UK today but not as deep as this yet. A strange mixture of elements and yet it works so irresistibly. Excellent light management and an original presentation.
Enjoy a good week - Brian.

Hello Chris,
Also here in Belgium place one, the same fitness around the homes for the elderly, during summertime come a lot elder people the devices use.
Your picture with snow is not the ideally moment for use.
Sharpness and clarity are perfect taken.
Perspective and depth are perfect presently.
What a lovely image with different colors and fantastic light management.
Excellent captured, nice composed, TFS.
Have a nice week,
John.

Hello Chris,
You keep surprising us with scenes from Turkey.
Although the footprints betray the presence of a previous visitor, they also tell us that they circumvented the ground without any obvious exercise!
The bright colours stand out well against the snow.
You have managed the light well, no oe despite the strength of the light on the white surfaces.
A very well composed shot.
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,
a very unusual subject on TrekEarth itself, and even more unusual in a place which seems to be remote, and even more unusual covered with snow.
Looks a bit surreal. However, the snow and the cold color of the sky are a nice contrast to the colorful sports equipment.
