Intent

Help needed for the ignorant. Where is Lake Sapanca? More mystery: do I see some rails between the couple and the lake? (I am always looking for rails!); what is the lady holding?

Thank you John for the interest. Spanca is one of the four major lakes of Marmara region (North-west) of Turkey. It is located on the left hand side of the highway from Istanbul to Ankara. It takes only an hour and a half to get there from Istanbul. The photo was taken when we had a break on the spot on our way to Istanbul. As is seen, the railway (between Istanbul and Ankara) runs parallel to the highway at this district. It was overcast when I was there and a little later it did get darker and started raining. Sorry, dont't know what the lady was holding.

Lovely,lovely photo and compo. Good idea sepia tones

I like the sepia tones too, and the couple look so relaxed, beautiful portrait.

Hey nonur, thats a nice shot....i lil more distance would have given us an opportunity of a better view of the river/place....regards, jeeess

It's a great composition, well taken shot. I also like the sepia effect.

A lovely, timeless conversation piece, Nezih.

Thank you all, didn't expect this.
