Spring Cleaning for Gulets, a photo from Antalya, Mediterranean

Photographer's Note

This is a great time to be in Kas. Everywhere I go I see people cleaning, painting, and generally preparing for the summer season.

The Turkish gulets are no exception. Here "on the hard", the boats are being cleaned and repaired. I am told that by summer they will all be at sea.

The gulet is a very sea worthy vessel following a design that has worked for several thousand years. If boat building interests you, do not miss this excellent
web site which describes the long shistory of the gulet and how they are made today.

Hi Peter,
Good photo with a great composition of the light and the long shades that makes the Sun.
Very good colors, and an elegant setting with the uprightness of the masts.
The cars in the wharf give us the real dimension of the boats.
Good work.
Regards,
Josep
