The Frari   is one of my favourite churches in Venice. The simplicity of it, the tranquil interior and the beautiful architectural details are the reasons of my admiration. Not to forget the colour combination of the warm brick and the cool stone used together… The courtyard of the church is usually closed to visitors, but there are a couple of windows from where you can see the courtyard. The only thing is that you have to look for it and it’s worth it, trust me…

Scaffolding of Hagia Sophia

Sometimes it’s just like that.. Ordinary things can leave you in awe.

The oddness, the volume, the roughness of it and the light, how it was showing off in the light of this holy place… I loved it.

yağmura,nisana ve yaşıma aldanıp
uçurumları kıyı sanarak
ve dağlar erişilmeyince acı verir
sözünü unutarak
kaf dağına gitmek istedim

ırmak inadıyla yürüdüm uzaklara
bir derviş olup yürüdüm uzaklara

yanıldı denektaşım geriye döndüm
Kutsal Sözler Panayırı’na sığınıp
ipeksi bir sessizliğe büründüm:

bir hayat,mahçup ve duru
Tanrım,gülleri
ve sessiz harfleri koru.

İbrahİm Tenekecİ

You need a little bit of light to see the darkness. But only a little.
