Flamingos

Flamingos are social birds and often live in groups. They build nests in large colonies, providing protection against predators. They have strong flying abilities and are migratory birds, moving to different regions as needed. They are commonly found in warm climates. In summary, flamingos are known for their striking appearance and communal living habits. Their pink feathers and graceful flights make them a vibrant part of natural life.

Fishermen’s Art

The synergy of eight fishing nets cast together unfolds a tale of collaborative precision. Suspended mid-air, these nets create a dynamic tapestry against the canvas of the water. The collective effort of fishermen is frozen in this moment, where threads of tradition and teamwork intersect, weaving a visual ode to the artistry of communal fishing.

Drought At Our Doorstep

A shepherd we came across while on a photographic trip in Erzincan, Türkiye said his cow was stuck in a dried-up bog and asked us for help on Sep. 14, 2021. We tried to help to save the cow but when we saw that it could not get out, we sent a friend to the nearest town by car to get a rope. Then we rescued the cow from the bog with the help of a car.
