Today's #monomad challenge post is about the Dilhan Sesen concert in Istanbul and the photos I took on the way.She is a musician who makes indie/jazz songs, and in this concert she sang her songs with a guitarist featuring her. Most of the songs in her setlist created a strange sense of peace with the soft effect of her vocals. About seventy people came to the concert on the roof of a pub in Kadıköy. I liked her album. if you want to listen to it - I recommend it - here is the album link: KUMDAN INSA PUTLARA-SPOTIFY

Greetings to everyone after a long break :) In this post I will talk about a solidarity event/concert I attended in Istanbul. As I mentioned in my previous post, a very bad animal law in Turkey was passed and enacted despite protests. (

I travel by ferry a lot these days in Istanbul, sometimes for business and sometimes just for sightseeing. And as a result, you may see a lot of sea life in my most recent shots. In today's photo series, I will take you on a journey with seagulls.

ISO: 640, exp:1/200, f/6.3 @400mmHello everyone. Today my topic is dogs. Unfortunately, the government in Turkey has passed a scandalous law. In the past, stray dogs in need of help used to be taken to municipal shelters, sterilized and treated, and then released back to the street where they were taken.

Istanbul has a big seagull population because the city is made up of two peninsulas. In the old days, until the 60s and 70s, even pelicans could be seen in the city. Unfortunately, due to our species' negative deterioration of nature, we can only see pelicans in old Istanbul videos. And if you're lucky, you might also see beautiful storks dancing in the air at migration time.

In fact, not only in Istanbul but also in many cities in Turkey, you can see tame cats making friends with humans on the streets of their districts. Cats are an indispensable part of this city. According to research, it is said that 125 thousand cats live in Istanbul. In this post I will show you the cats in my new neighborhood. Let's continue with this black cat. You know, superstitious people think that a black cat is bad luck. Believe me, I am very surprised, how can a kitty like this bring bad luck?
