The Turkey Vulture is so named because its red, featherless head resembles that of the Wild Turkey. The species is a common, well-known, and readily recognizable bird that ranges across southern Canada to southernmost South America. Vultures are the most widely distributed of all seven species of New World vultures. Some experts believe that Vultures and other New World vultures are more closely related to storks than to other raptors. Vultures are masters at soaring, and once above the canopy, rarely flap their wings. When soaring, Vultures hold their wings in a dihedral, or “V” shape, above their backs, and often rock side-to-side in the wind.
The species is quite social, and individuals often fly together in flocks or “kettles” both when migrating and when searching for food. Outside of the breeding season, Turkey Vultures often roost together with Black Vultures at communal roosts, sometimes by the hundreds. Like most vultures, Turkey Vultures feed almost entirely on carrion, which they find by both smell and by sight. Other vultures, such as Black Vultures, lack a keen sense of smell and often follow Turkey Vultures to carcasses.
Wild turkeys are active during the day and roost in trees overnight. They nest on the ground and the young turkeys (poults) are able to leave the nest shortly after hatching. They immediately begin foraging for insects, but stay in a brood with the hen until their flight feathers have developed. Because turkeys are large and active during daylight hours, they are often observed foraging for insects, grubs and seeds, their primary food source.

While I was photographing the Turkey Vultures I could hear the calls of an Osprey. I was not able to put my eye on it until later when I was walking back to the truck and I spotted it as it flew away.
The Kusadasi castle is a symbol of this Aegean Turkish resort town. It's set on Pigeon island (which is btw not an island anymore, as it was connected to the mainland some 40y ago), and is visible from all over the area. The inner castle (the middle square cube) was built in 16c, while the surrounding fortifications were added later. Today they look very new and well preserved but that's due to renovation works.

Looking up at the roof in one of the building at the Haci Bektas Veli mausoleum and museum. Haci Bektas Veli put emphasis on peace and tolerance making his a universally relevant doctrine still widely popular today. Anatolia, Turkey.

Search and find.
Educate the women.
Even if you are hurt, don’t hurt.
Sages are pure sometimes purifiers.
First stage of attainment is modesty.
Whatever you look for, search in you.
Don’t forget even your enemy is human.
Control your hand, your word, your lust.
Beauty of human is in the beauty of his words.
Prophets and saints are God’s gift to humanity.
Road that doesn’t go through science is perilous.
Don’t try to find faults neither in nation nor individual.
How nice to ones who put light in the darkness of thought.
Don’t do anything to anyone if you don’t want it to be done to you.
Peace be with you!
Haci Bektas Veli

Do you know if Turkey has maple trees? While the shape of this leaf is slightly different, it is striking similar to Canadian maple tree.

Az efezoszi Odeon vagy Bouleuterion, színházhoz hasonló építmény kő padsorain 1500-an foglalhattak helyet. A talált felirattöredékekből tudjuk, hogy Vedius Antonius idején, i. sz. 150 körül építették. Sok érv szól amellett, hogy rendeltetése nem, vagy nemcsak színház volt, mivel olyan intézmények között foglalt helyet, mint a mellette álló városháza és a vele szemben elterülő állami agora. Az is feltételezés, hogy valamikor felülről befedett lett volna, mivel semmi nyomát nem találták a víz elvezetésének.
