Come Away with Caretta Caretta from Adventure4ever on Vimeo.

It does not happen very often that you see Loggerhead ( Caretta Caretta) Sea Turtles in Turkey anymore. After a Gulet Cruise with friends, Jillian Nico and I were hanging out At the Kas Camping when Nico spotted this old Turtle while snorkeling. Exited he called us over and Jillian picked up her Canon G10 with the underwater housing. Given the fact that I did not expect to get any good photo’s without proper experiece on the camera, I decided to try a movie. Here is the result: a gracefull Turtle gently gliding through the water. What a super wildlife experience!

I was just browsing through my archive to research some pictures for a magazine publication, and came across this picture from the Egyptian Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey. The bazaar is known for its oriental spices and pastries and sweets. What less people know, is that it also offers a very succesful Natural Viagra! I guess the salesperson is the best advertisement for the product

At the time of taking pictures, I had to smile about the Viagra sign, as all they sell is a jar stuffed to the brim with nuts and honey, according to the Turks a major aphrodisiac. As my eyes panned to the right I suddenly bcame aware of the big belly and a picture was born. Stealthilly I focussed my wide angle on the honey and the unsuspecting woman became the crown on the picture. I think I am slowly discovering the secret behind the large families, some of whom have up to 12 kids.

Istanbul is a vibrant city and I can recommend anyone to come and see it. Check out all the images in this photo gallery of Istanbul, Turkey
