missing~a feeling that connects

When I am away from İstanbul, I miss:

~ the gentle people who take care of stray cats, stray dogs and wounded seagulls

~ ferries

~ cormorants resting on breakwaters like eternal question marks

~ beer-wine-rakı scented alley-like streets

~ my beloved bookstores and cinemas

~ gypsies selling flowers at every corner

~ yelkouan shearwaters skimming across Bosphorus

~ wandering on winding roads on the hills of Bosphorus…watching how the view turns with every turn of the road. Breathing in these changes and beauty

~ being in Yoros Castle watching the storms coming from Black Sea, entering Bosphorus and spreading over the city

…

 

But what I miss most is travelling from one continent to another with seagulls:o)
