Ski lodges… apparently still celebrating the holidays in February. Works for me.

I finally got a chance to try out the wonders of Kitchenette, and I have to say, I was impressed with the food, the service, and the cocktails. A great experience all around. I’ll definitely be a regular visitor.

Unintentional night portrait while travelling around on this city’s fine public transport.

Holiday lights are still up in many places in Antalya… including my house.

A perfect opportunity to break out the candles.

Gorgeous clouds swirling over the mountains.

A brief break in the rainy season.

The House Café, where fresh flowers on the table are a given. Love this place.

Can’t get enough.

On display now at Migros 5M.

A wonderful end to a wonderful year— a happy new year to everyone!

One more week to go.

Our shopping malls are really going all-out with the Christmas decorations, it’s staggering. I love it.

The view from a tower block in Uncalı. Simply spectacular.

We’ve had some serious precipitation. People are heading off on ski trips.

Yes, I know, I go a bit sunset crazy. You can hardly blame me with sunsets like these.

One tree is still keeping the faith for autumn.

Winter is upon us, and frankly, it’s gorgeous.

Time to start wrapping up gifts… or at least adorning them with ribbons.

I’ve had that cold that’s going around… you know the one. Nothing a day relaxing by the sea can’t fix.

Beauty inside and out.

It was one of those sunsets where I couldn’t stop taking photos. Autumn and winter are like that.

Sometimes I’m just in the right place at the right time.

The season has turned a little early this year.

Fluffy hats and scented candles are part of the daily ritual now.

Now that it’s not hot anymore, it’s a great time of year to spend time at sidewalk cafés. Most have free wifi and almost all have great coffee, which is a nice change from five years ago when all you could get in Antalya was lukewarm Nescafé.

Yes yes, another sunset shot. Sue me.

People complain about the quality of desserts at Starbucks. I’m wondering if I’m eating at Starbucks in a parallel universe, because their desserts are amazing.

The annual festival of sacrifice was last week. I didn’t go photograph the whole thing again; I just got a couple of shots at a distance.

The first wood delivery of the winter. People are battening down.

March on Republic Day, 29 October.
