Where are you wondering of to?..
Captured at the gathering of a local book reading community in Ankara.
On our journey one day, at the side of the road we noticed an apple tree. We picked two apples and sat down to eat them, when all of a sudden I noticed these having a feast of themselves..
In the village where I took this photo (like still in a lot of villages here in Turkey) they grow a lot of things themselves. Everything they don't consume daily is being preserved by drying and bottling. In this village, interesting enough, they don't preserve apples as much. Not like I am accustomed too from where I grew up, where they consume preserved apples a lot ("appelmoes", "compote").So when I saw these apples "rotting away", my first impulse was "what a waste". Shortly after however, I thought that this is actually "natural" and the usual way of nature reproducing and recycling everything - Natur(e's/al) Cycle
As a child, everything is magical. No restrictions, no boundaries, total freedom. Just run, spread your arms and fly... Little things experienced big. Nothing else exists, totally absorbed, getting lost in the moment... Most of us are being driven away by the demands of the "grown up" life. But sometimes, unexpectedly, we encounter things that brings us back, way back to that magical world.. and this is what we see...
