ARASTA BAZAAR
Located on the Blue Mosque Square in Istanbul, Arasta Bazaar has been one of the most charming shopping centers since it was built by savvy Ottoman officials in 17th century.
As a result of the excavations made in 1930, it was figured out that the bazaar was established upon the old structures which were body of the palace in Byzantine Era.
In Ottoman Age, this historic construction was used by cavalrymen because there were found many various materials for them. Therefore popularly known as Sipahiler (Cavalrymen) Bazaar in that period, market consists of approximately 70 series of shops placed on Torun Street. Although it is smaller than the magnificent Grand Bazaar, this relatively calmy and pretty market contains many kinds of productions attracting people in its shops such as eyeful jewellery, carpets, souvenirs, ceramics, Turkish tiles, apparel and more today.
In the last time of Ottoman, the market burned in a fire, because of that it was demolished. But that breath taking building was rebuilt and reopened by General Directorate for Foundations in 1981.
Photographed in the style of the Dutch Golden Age, the juxtaposition of scarlet red roses and red flags all within a single bouquet illustrate what dating is like as an older woman in the modern age, a time where dating is a minefield filled with hope, baggage, and heartbreak. Utilizing the feel and style of the Dutch Golden Age of painting, where imagery is often full of symbolism, here we see the symbol of love standing side by side with the symbol of caution.

The A-10 Warthog (excuse me, "Thunderbolt II") is an ugly, beautiful plane. Its beauty is something only an engineer could love. You can shoot half a wing off one of these and it'll probably still get home. They're amazing.
I've seen them flying a few times before, but never this close.

My wife and I had some free time so we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for the Red Flag exercise in mid-March 2025. The weather forecast was good and there seemed to be a decent line-up of participating aircraft. Unfortunately both items fell short. The sky conditions were excellent but the weather sucked. Very high winds affected some of the fighters. The first afternoon we were there all F-16s and F-35s were grounded due to crosswinds. Also unfortunate was that Flex departures were cancelled at the last minute so the planes had to do a straight out departure - this sucked for photographers. In the late afternoon the recovery shifted to landings over Cheyenne Avenue. This was our first visit there in about a year and we couldn't believe the change. It was a mix of a homeless camp, scrap yard, bombed out Gaza, and just a totally trashy area. Burned out cars and car parts were everywhere. We didn't feel safe there despite being among other plane spotters. Wow. I took these photos in mid-March 2025.
Re aircraft activity - it seemed a lot lower than at prior Red Flags. There were a lot of Nellis resident aircraft but not too many visitors. It was a decent trip but not a great one.
