Photographer’s Note

A hookah (Hindi: हुक़्क़ा, Urdu: حُقّہ huqqā), nargile in Turkish, or nargila (Hebrew: נרגילה‎ nar-gee-la), or shisha (Arabic: شيشة ""shee-sha""‎) is a single or multi-stemmed (often glass-based) water pipe for smoking shisha (a type of tobacco). The concept of filtered smoke through a pipe originated in India[1][2][3][4] and gained immense popularity, especially in the Middle East; it is gaining popularity in the USA, UK, and elsewhere.[5][6] Today, some of the highest quality and most extravagant hookah pipes come from Israel, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Turkey. The hookah operates by water filtration and indirect heat. They can also be used for smoking fruits.[citation needed]

Hello Özhan,
A nice line of gentlemen all busy destroying their lungs. A good composition with a fine eye-contact with the nearest man.
Kind regards,
Gert

Günlük hayatımızın içinden güzel bir kompozisyon.
Işık fazla gibi olsa da güzel görüntülediniz.
Demek ki nargile keyfini yaşayanlar var hala..
Elinize sağlık, selamlar

Hi Ozhan,
Oh Anice snapshot with the sitting men to smoking their nargile.I like especially the red-round face of the man on the foreground with his smart face.

Have a nice day,Danos

Hi Özhan,
To me, this look certainly like a very special orchestra with a lot of men playing some weird kind of clarinets or oboes... But I guess these instruments create a different kind of sound! Very fine portraits anyhow!
Kins regards
