    Postcard from Uludag | Bursa in WInter

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Snowstorm in Uludag | Bursa Turkey “Then Come The Wild Weather, Come Sleet or Come Snow, We Will Stand by Each Other, However it Blow.” – Simon Dach – We were hit hard by snowstorm during our arrival at Uludag after about one hour journey by a taxi from our hotel in Bursa. I really wish before our departure that we will get a nice weather, a dry snowy scene so that I can take a beautiful picture of my family against the white snow but instead, we were greeted  by a heavy snowstorm. Anyway I think, it is a blessing in disguise, despite the…

You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don’t even understand the language the people speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb.

    Travel Photography | Postcard From Istanbul | Explore | Dream | Discover

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography | Galata Bridge and Galata Tower | Istanbul Turkey I Am Listening To Istanbul, My Eyes Closed I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed; At first there blows a gentle breeze And the leaves on the trees Softly flutter or sway; Out there, far away, The bells of water carriers incessantly ring; I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed. I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed; Then suddenly birds fly by, Flocks of birds, high up, in a hue and cry While nets are drawn in the fishing grounds And a woman’s feet begin to dabble in…
