Photo Challenge: Half and Half

Half and Half

 

This is twice Half and Half. It is half land and half see, but it is also half (smaller part) of Europe and half (bigger part) of Asia. This photograph is showing Istanbul with his famous Bosphorus bridge that connect these two continents. The image was taken from Topkapi palace.

Photo Challenge: Symbol

Golden Gate Bridge

 

Since the day it was constructed and painted in famous orange color, Golden Gate Bridge is symbol of San Francisco. Featured in so many movies and songs, destroyed by so many different sea monsters, aliens and natural catastrophes in films ( I think it is at least 2 that came out this year ), the Bridge stands proudly at the entrance of the Bay. Only one more powerful symbol can beat it and that is fog. After all, San Francisco is sometimes called  “Fog City”.

Mercer House Door

 

While I was on my recent trip to Savannah,Georgia I shoot this image of the Mercer House. One of the most known houses in Savannah, immortalized in  “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” (or “The Book”, as everybody in that part of the world calls it), this door hides the history of the house.

Freekeh

 

Recently I discovered a freekeh, Arabic green wheat that is very tasty and healthy. There are so many recipes on internet, one just need to type this unusual name of the cereal. First one that I tried is with honey, pecans and cranberries. And it is delicious, and it is prepared fast. I am looking forward to more of different dishes from this amazing grain.

Sea Coast

 

I always loved the sea. I learned how to swim before I earned how to walk (at least my Granny used to say that!). One may say that sea and seaside, sunrises over the water and sea cliffs are my muse. I love to go back to this part of nature and present it in a different way.
