Ancient Figurens From City of Amazons

Antique city Pitane is the northernmost of the 12 Aiolis cities as mentioned by Herodotus. According to the myth, Pitane is founded by the Amazons and is named after the founder. These tiny figurens from this ancient city took my breathe away when I saw them in Pergamon Archaeology Museum. No wonder why we are attached to ancient Greek Style in fashion after thousands of years.

The Planet We Call Home

Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS from Michael König on Vimeo.

240 miles up, in space where is unaware of all the problems of Earth, our planet seems like such a livable place! With all those city lights, giant lightning storms, big cloud formations, lights reflecting from atmosphere, thinking of the beautiful world makes me feel good and happy.

Finally Finished Istanbul Illustration!

I finally finished my big project! Getting my favorite things and places of Istanbul together has not been an easy task; but I feel happy when I stare at it :) I enjoy the result like enjoying walking down the streets of the city to arrive Bosphorous.

Falling In Love...

Fall is such a romantic season of the year when surrounded with the different tones of red, yellow and brown. Especially if you find yourself in the middle of a leave rain, you can't just help falling in love with it...

Mercedes-Benz Museum {Stuttgart}

Last week, after visiting Mercedes-Benz Museum, I realized that this museum offered its visitors more than the expectations from a car museum. With one word, it was a great experience. You can find yourself in the explanation of the historical development of transportation without getting bored. Eventhough I am not very fond of cars, I really enjoyed this museum.

If you come to Stuttgart, make a visit to this museum

When Old Meets New...

I guess it is all about perception: How you feel the life is dependent on how you view things around you. You might be surrounded with ruins, but if you open a new window out of it, you can actually get a totally different view. You might be craving for something new, and become blind to the beauty in old. But when you realise the beauty in past, you can actually enjoy the future more.

Gone by the Hurricane Irene

I don't know how I manage it; but I'm pretty good in being in the middle of natural "incidents". I was stuck for 2 days at Dulles Airport in Washington DC last year thanks to the biggest blizzard of recent years, I managed being around US during both Irene hurricane and the earthquake, I managed getting out of London right after volcanic ashes. With such a successful performance record, I guess there will be more coming in future...

I'm happy to have come through my first hurricane experience with no major damage. When it was over, it was such a bless for surfers in town :) I've never seen such big and great waves here before. We don't have any big damage; some cracks on the roof, some dripping on the ceiling, and that's about it. Today, on the other hand, is such a bright and sunny day. As if nothing crazy has just happened; streets are already dry. I managed riding through my first " hurricane party" here! ;)

Long Journey

It's been a crazy week. Packing, seeing people, shopping, packing some more, seeing more people...It's not easy to leave for such a long trip. More than 18 hours of flying across ocean and then looking for a place to move...I'll probably be over busy with moving and getting settled. But like the song says; "Every rose has its thorn" ;) Wish me good luck and hoping to come back soon!xxx

Details from a New Project

Finishing this one will probably take longer than I anticipated; however I couldn't help sharing the details from the first outcome. There are lots of specialities in Istanbul that I don't even know how to add on this artwork. Fishes are showing me the way ;)

Surprises...

Sometimes, it's good to "go beyond". Especially if you swerve with no planning, you never know' what time will be bringing. It's good to get out of the routine and make a change; because it gives you the opportunity to experience all kinds of surprises that would make you hold valuable memories. Karatay Caravansaray was one of these surprises that I had during my trip around Anatolia. When its doors were opened, I felt myself as a guest of an undiscovered world.

Blue

Sparkling blue details of Twin Minarets in Sivas, Turkey - which is a great sample of Seljukian Architecture. No wonder why this particular blue is called as Turkish Blue- Turqoise.

After Voyage...

As I got closer to city, I just felt like going back to those roads in the below photo. While I was experiencing the last part of an exhausting road trip, firstly because of some road construction, later on due to a very sad traffic accident caused by a truck, we were stuck on the high way for hours. It was a huge mistake to hope something inspiring from the radio: Stay away from TV, radio, newspapers, internet and even from cell phone, and then be bound to listen all those sad news coming out of radio: mass murder in Norway, young death of Amy Winehouse, earthquake in hometown, death tolls in the accident which we just had to pass by....Hey world, when are you planning on giving a break?
