About All set ready to go, but little does he know
He ain?t comin? back no more
All set ready to fly into that deep blue sky
Like so many times before
Now the tower?s callin?, there?s no reply
And there?s nothin they can do
Now the night is fallin? before their eyes
Still no one?s comin? through, callin?
Somewhere out in time, God knows what?s on his mind
Is there a reason for his doubt
Somehow una ware just like he didn?t care
There must be ways of gettin? out
Now the tower?s callin?, there?s no reply
And there?s nothin they can do
Now the night is fallin? before their eyes
Still no one?s comin? through, callin?

Song by Europe

In fact here there is one tower if you look carefully. I want to thank Ozan for letting me use the extra lens that belongs o him the eyeglasses :)

The French name Tour de Leandre and Turkish name Kizkulesi both originate from legends. According to the first (which was actually set on the Dardanelles rather than the Bosphorus) the mythological hero Leander used to meet here with his beloved Hero, but one night he was drowned while swimming to the Tower and Hero committed suicide. The second refers to a story about a king of Scutari (Uskudar) who kept his beautiful daughter locked up here.

A really very nice idea my dear friend.

The mood of pastel colors and the and the drops suits eachother. They increases the impact of eachother.

It's very nice that you could have captured two towers. One is real and the other is imaginery. It's very meaningful that the imaginary one is sharper than the original one and it's on the eyeglasses of your model.

Congrats...

Cok guzel bir dusunce ve cok guzel bir fotograf ustat...

Pastel renklerin fotografa verdigi hava ve gozluk camindaki damlalar biribirine cok yakismis.

Iki kizkulesi yakalamis olman cok guzel. O kulelerden sanal olanin daha net olmasi ve onun ayni zamanda modelin gozlugunde olmasi cok anlamli...

Tebrikler.

turkce meali:
oncelikle fotografin yeniden yüklenmesine sebep oldugum icin camiadan ozur dilerim. asiri miyop olayina katilamayacagim. topu topu 1.75 sol goz :)

gozlugun camindaki iki damla yagmurdu. bu kareye giremeyen ucuncu bir damla ise suzuluyordu usul usul yanagimdan o anda.

eline saglik onur'um bir kez daha...

ozan nam-i diger fot-O-model ;)

translated as:
first of all, i would like to apologise for getting this photo reposted. i do not agree with the high level of miyopia. it is only 1.75 for the left eye :)

the two drops on the glass are due to rain. there was a third drop, not appearing in this shot, sliding slowly down my cheek.

once again, well done Onur...

ozan a.k.a photomodel ;)

öncelikle fotoğrafın yeniden yüklenmesine sebep olduğum için camiadan özür dilerim. aşırı miyop olayına katılamayacağım. topu topu 1.75 sol göz :)

gözlüğün camındaki iki damla yağmurdu. bu kareye giremeyen üçüncü bir damla ise süzülüyordu usul usul yanağımdan o anda.

eline sağlık onur'um bir kez daha...

ozan nam-ı diğer fot-O-model ;)
