I know that this may have nothing to do with Ancient History but I am very excited about these photos from Yusuf Tuvi! He's a famous Turkish photographer that travels around the world to catch the beauties of everyday life. These are some of his photos of Turkey. I really hope that you all enjoy them. I have truly fallen in love with this place.
