Summer holiday sketches

Some sketches from a recent holiday in Turkey......


View from the terrace, Sultanahmet Istanbul.


A man washing before prayer at the courtyard at Yeni Cami (New Mosque) in Istanbul. The 'New Mosque' is 400 years old!


A Nargile pipe


Apartment building in Beyoglu, Istanbul, over the road from the excellent Kronotrop cafe - they roast their own beans and the coffee is superb (www.kronotrop.com).


Tree house in Kabak Valey, Faralya.


Old guys playing cards and drinking tea in a cafe in the square in Selcuk.  Drinking tea seems to be a national pastime in Turkey.


Beach life - Ayazma Beach Bozcaada. I got very sunburnt doing this sketch.


Guys on the beach, Olympos.
