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.

A Sense of Place | Finding Your Eye At Home And Abroad
© 2012 Craft and Vision | Younes Bounhar | A Sense of Place | Finding Your Eye At Home and Abroad “Most travel photographers make pictures to convey the appearance of a place.

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

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…
