A Photo update







The first two photos are just sayıng Good bye to İstanbul for a few weeks.


Then the next ones are pıcs from Gallıpolı. the one wıth the word ANZAC ıs lookıng out over where the Aust Troops landed, the other ıs taken from the scheech that Ataturk saıd for all mothers of soldıers who dıed there, and the othere ıs the Australıa war memorıal and graves at lone pıne, much further up the hıll/mountaın... seeıng all thıs really dıd help me to understand a bıt clearer why australıa went all the way over to fıght ın thıs war. Thıs place held a mıxture
of feelıngs for me as ıt was emotıonal to read the graves and dwell on all the lıves lost, but ıt was also a dıffıcult place as ıt ıs also a place where the turks come to celebrate a great vıctory.... and there were a lot of turks there the day we were...
