Photographer’s Note

Urla is a coastal town and the center of the district of the same name in İzmir Province, in Turkey. Agricultural products, and especially the fresh produce for the vast nearby market of İzmir, occupy a prominent place in Urla's economy, with fish, poultry and flowers standing out.

Urla is where the ancient city of Klazomenai is located and its highly interesting remains are much visited, while the name lives on in the unofficial appellation used in the region for the coastline of the district, Kilizman.

With literacy among the highest in Turkey at 97 %, Urla is also home to İzmir Institute of Technology. Urla prides itself for having raised two important men of letters, Giorgos Seferis and Necati Cumalı.

kasvetli bir mekan ancak yinede keyfini çıkaran var

Hi Zeren,
A fine one here. The patina on the walls and this old man engulfed in whatever he's doing gives the feel of a classic, moody image. I would have preferred the classic approach here, though, in BW. (or almost desaturated).
cheers,
Cristian
