Lapis is a strong royal blue color, sometimes with a hint of violet, that might have come straight out of the Arabian Nights.

Horizon to me is an expression to be searched within. The beauty of horizon is endless and keeps my mind rich with ideas for photographic creations. I'm experimenting with different ways of creating pictures with a pleasing textures from one horizon to the other. I try to do this by associating gemstones with my creations, which are the most intensely colored natural material available on earth. Every gem has a unique range of colors can be found in nature. Each of my creations bear the name of resembling gem stone by means of color variations. The first one in the series is Topaz; it is a gemstone of all colors, and its most valuable color is a golden orange-yellow, called "imperial topaz".

I 'll keep posting the others if you will enjoy my "gem horizons".

the lift

Karatas, Izmir

The Historical Lift (Asansor) is another symbol of Izmir. It is fun to ride up this 19th-century lift in Karatas, the old Jewish quarter, for city views from its rooftop restaurant.

Somebody else's worn painting, but not in the original state and accompanied by real windows brought my mind the relationship between human and things...
