Yesterday was another beautiful day. We took our daily walk at the sea side. Amazingly we came across we some brave souls who decided to enjoy the sun shine and sea together.
I call them brave because it's already October and its not the ideal time of the Marmara Sea to swim. It should be rather cold. They also got another ribbon of bravery from me as they have the courage to swim in the contaminated waters of Marmara. Being an inland sea, Marmara is the life blood of İstanbul, however years of neglect left its once turquoise waters pretty dirty, especially in the shores of İstanbul..
As for us, we already adopted ourselves to autumn and like to watch the falling leaves.... Have a great weekend and enjoy the season whichever you are living in..
Its just now getting a little chilly here. I love Fall.
ReplyDeleteSpring here.. but was raining all day today..for which I am grateful. Washed away all that rest dust from last week. Lovely photos... have a great weekend x Julie
ReplyDeleteI long for the beach, and the sound of the surf. I'm not much of a winter fan, so when fall starts to peak around the corner, I get uptight. Your photos take me back to my season of choice. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe're entering autumn, too. I like hot weather but this year I welcome the cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. Hera looks like a happy girl!
We just got our first cold spell too in Northern California! I'm ready for fall and all it's wonderful things like baking,movies,walks and sweaters. I will still miss summer though and will start wishing it here again. (I need to move to a tropical island!)For now I'm happy with the change.:)Enjoy your weekend!

The tourists must be from Canada - we would probably find the water in the Marmara warm. Don't know about the pollution though. Is that your puppy?
ReplyDeleteI'm craving the the sound of waves hitting the shore and thought perhaps I'd go tomorrow...sometimes its hard to think of going to the beach in October!
ReplyDeletemuch love!
Gotta love that last shot of your new puppy.
ReplyDeleteRainy here today, which is good after the drought. But I sat on the dock tonight, imagining the full moon I could not see due to clouds.
Not many boats on the lake today. Just a few ardent fisherman, undaunted by the rain.
I had no idea Istanbul had that much water! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSunbathing is something you can still do in California in October, although the Pacific is rather cold and you need a wetsuit. Is the water cold as well as dirty?
ReplyDeletenice to see so much activity and how much they want the sun. It would have been amazing to see turquoise waters. I too remember the water is dark in color.
ReplyDeleteThe sea side shot is so serene. To bad you have to be so brave to fully enjoy the waters in October!
ReplyDeleteDifferent point of view,I m very proud when I visit your blog,best wishes.Stay well.
ReplyDeleteAutumn really is the best season. It is my favorite.
ReplyDeletesağlık ve neşe içinde nice yıllar dilerim.
