Is somebody up there trying to tell me something?
Never let it be said that the Turks are not enterprising (if extremely laid back!)

ReplyDeletestunning images!
ReplyDeleteyou've got a great narrative running though them.
I love those pictures! I think Louise is right - you could write a novel inspired by them (at the very least)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures speak volumes of the differences between Turkish and English cultural uptake on life.
ReplyDeleteIn England this story would have been prefixed with such utterances from the BBC as, "A miraculas escape for passengers", or " Passengers escape carnage"
But on Turkish TV it would have mearly been seen as a good oppertunity to make a sale.
How different our two cultures have become.
Here, we are brainwashed into believing that the passengers had a miraculouse escape, whilst in Turkey, the truth would have been self evedent, namely, that the passengers had mearly postponed the enevitable truth that we will all, one day, meet our maker.
Does anybody out there understand why I`m even more petrified of flying now even after doing it for 30 years?
ReplyDelete`The more you do it , the easier it gets` is a complete fallacy!
