The Bosphorus, Istanbul as I imagine it...

Inspired by Uelsmann's analogue work...

Why do we choose to live in such far away places? Up above the clouds, with nothing but Nature and hard living...

My attempt to convey a contradictory feeling: the freshness of the strawberries in a new season with the dried leaves of the background in an imaginary cornucopia format

From Cormac McCarthy's "Border Trilogy, The Crossing" ...yet more dark and darkening still where it ran on to the east and where there was no sun and there was no dawn and when he looked again toward the north the light was drawing away faster and that noon which he'd woke was now become an alien dusk and now an alien dark and the birds that flew had lighted and all had hushed once again in the bracken by the road.

The Bosphorus strait's importance lies in the fact that it is a significant shipping route that links the Black Sea with the world's oceans. Known as Bogazici in Turkish, it connects the Black Sea with the Marmara Sea and Dardanelles Strait.

Reviewing an image I had created long ago, made a few changes in colour.
