So, I’ve seen Scotland
This summer I had a few days off to relax. I and my wife decided to visit Scotland. That idea just came up with sort of invitation we have had from the famous crime writer Craig Russell. My wife is the Turkish translator of his books. We went to Scotland and hired a car then I drew 1473.1 miles which means 2370.2 km. That’s crazy trip believe me. Before we go I planned some point of interest of mine by using Google Earth. So there was no big deal to find them there hopefully. I took 2251 photos there! Of course most of them were HDR that multiplied one photo by three. And 627 of them were taken by the small camera because they are just for memory only.
I heard from someone else that Scottish people are not so polite or whatever. When I met them over there I realized that the Scottish are fabulously brilliant, polite and hospitable folks. There was absolutely nothing wrong with them. I appreciate every one of them I met. Thank them for that hospitability. And I understand that the kilt (some sort of traditional Scottish skirt) suits men very much. I was nearly buying one if it wasn’t so expensive. They have plenty of rain and dead volcanic mountains that are why there were a lot narrow lakes. Each lake has own their castle I can say. There were a lot castles everywhere around.
The things that I hate there are the millions of small mud flies and very narrow roads. Flies are very harmful when they start to bite you. (Especially when you do long exposure you will have to wait so long on same point bloody hell they were everywhere and attacked me!) God! It aches and itches badly.  Nearly at the end of our journey I heard very terrible news from my cousin that my aunt who suffered from lungs cancer for a year was dead. I’m so sad.  :( However nobody will live forever. I hope she will sleep well and rest in peace.
Here are the some of the photos I took in that beautiful country. If I have an opportunity to live in that country I wouldn’t think about twice, I’m sure. That country is a beautiful place for a photographer. And no crowded at all.

Here are the some of the photos.

Bu yaz çok kısıtlı olan senelik iznimi İskoçya'yı ziyaret ederek değerlendirdim. Bu fikir Filiz'in çevirdiği kitapların ünlü yazarlarından biri Craig Russell 'ın bizi ülkesini görmemiz için davet etmesiyle ortaya çıktı. Ülkeye gitmeden önce Sonisphere'de tanıştığım Next mağazasının Director'u İngiliz adamın "İskoçya'da tatile mi gidilir!?" ve "En azından İskoçya'lılardan uzak durun." lafları kulaklarımda çınlıyordu. Aldırmadım. Bir araba kiralayıp ülkeyi baştan başa dolaştık tam olarak 2370.2 km yol lat ettik. Bir hafta için bunca yol gerçekten sıkı bir planlamanın eseridir inanın bana. Google Earth hizmeti sayesinde dünyada nereye gitmek istersem her türlü bilgi, fotoğraf ve detayı bulabiliyorum. Keşke bu teknolojil gelişim 10 yıl önce olmuş olsaydı. Her neyse ülkemizde sevgili hükümetimizin kararlarından biri olarak yasal yoldan Google Earth kullanmak bile yasak. Neyse Filiz ile birlikte 2251 adet fotoğraf çektik. İskoçya gördüğüm en güzel, bozulmamış ve yeşil ülkelerden biriydi. Ayrıca insanları da söylenenin aksine, onurlu, misafirperver, güler yüzlü ve saygılılardı. Yol işçisinden, polisine kadar bu böyleydi.
Bir şey daha fark ettim. Kilt diye adlandırdıkları İskoç geleneksel eteği, erkeklere tahmininizden çok ama çok fazla yakışmakta. Bu beni ziyadesiyle şaşırttı.
Ülkenin havası tipik ahmakıslatan cinsinden yağmurlu ve sönmüş volkanik yapıda ki dağ ve göl oluşumları ülkenin otobanlar için geçit vermez ama turizm açısından harikulade bir güzellikte olmasına sebep olmuş. Yüzlerce birbirinden güzel gölet ve göller ve bu göllerin kenarlarına inşa edilmiş kaleleriyle İskoçya Orta Çağ kokan bir ülke.
Anlatacak çok şey var ama laf gitgide uzuyor iyisi mi siz çektiğim bazı fotoğraflarla ülkeyi tanıyın. Bu arada iznimin son günlerinde bir seneyi aşkındır kanserle mücadele veren dünya iyisi halamı kaybettiğimin haberini almıştım. İyi insanların erken alınması durumu doğru mu diyorum bazen düşününce. Allah'tan rahmet sevdiklerine sabır diliyorum.

Get your Portable ID!

I like playing games. What about you? It's like another world you connect with. I feel happy, lonely, embarrassed, angry, mad, bored, awake, sleepy, etc there. My eye gets really tired. It's actually very bad habit. It keeps you down. You actually do nothing while playing. Just sit down or jump (if you have amazing eye toy). I don't feel alright to go out and take pictures nowadays. I feel older and tired all the time. On the other hand I dropped my camera and broke it. So I need to fix it up. It took 2 daysto fix and it's nearly done. It will work again. I liked what Nikon put in my camera :) But some tiny things inside of it made me mad. It's really hard to put or stick them together. As I told you it is almost done. And it will work as before.
You know what I'd like to do?
I'd like to travel a lot. Take a picture and meet people. Never think about money or another crap in the world. It would be the real freedom to me. So I'm not free! Not feeling free. I'd like to be invisible. That'd also make me free. I wouldn't care about people if I could be invisible. Because they wouldn't see me at all. Anyway lovely to talk to you in that way. Very few of you will read and very very few of you will understand what I meant.
See you around people have fun and take picture instead of me :wave:

While you are reading this journal I will have been already death.

:rofl:

I don't now why I always want to write something like above and watch people' reaction from where the hell I am :D

Well guys It's been almost 2 years that I joined most popular art community DA. I've uploaded 155 deviations until now. Sometimes I'm thinking that I'm not good enough to take others' attention. Sometimes I'm thinking that I'm capable to do almost everything, you know I mean? I need some more attention to fire me up otherwise I feel so alone in this jam. Even my journals don't take attention. Only a few fellas write comments, that's all. And thanks them. I don't like writing comments every single art that I've seen. Sometimes I just feel like watching them and leaving. I do favs most of them If I'm in a better mood. Rarely make comments to few of them. And I really don't like to comment everybody’s every single photos just to make sure that they may come to visit my page and leave comments. It sounds disgusting to me, I could say. What is wrong with you people? Or What is wrong with me? So that's your last chance to tell me.
                                      SO TELL ME NOW!
