this is a late tribute to my friend , Sarah who passed away 5 months ago.i just learned about it and i'm so sad to hear.
I had noticed her absence , but always thought she was in one of her trips taking her cool photos:(
So i was devastated to read this:(
I thought to make a tribute to her with such a photo of mine as she loved everything about colors and textures!She had a great approaching eye and heart!Rest in peace dear Sarah.You won't be forgotten!for more infos and to have a look at her lovely photos you may check her blog too:http://sarahunderhillphotography.blogspot.com/

Do you love the old songs ?Do you enjoy dancing them?Don't you go crazy singing them while dancing?I do..Is good to live in Istanbul if you are an oldies lover, as partys like these one are often organised.This week on friday we went to " Life Roof"a bar of Istanbul.It was the first time we visited it and I just loved its concept.It was on the 5th floor and we discovered also some other authentic cool cafes on the other floors (soon to be visited:)I had my close albanian friend Irena (who came last week to Istanbul)and her university pals (all ladies) with me.Yes..we had a girls day:)You can see the list of the songs and artists from the poster below.We danced and singed non stop.Weirdly , I felt myself like a teenager for some moments:)We laughed like crazy when Dr Alban's song started .I don't remember the name of the song but I know it has some "no hashash, no heroine" on the text:)This one used to be very popular in Albania:)The bar was not a close building and it was great to dance ,while the wind blowed your hair..In front we had a flawless panorama of flying doves under a blue sky.The sky was our ceiling and that made it even more memorable.I'm looking forward for the other "oldies but goldies party" !:)

I had another dreamy day yesterday with my photographer friends.It was a long time we hadn't meet (2 months) and I was bored to death:) Luckily we met yesterday.
Our yesterday's safari visit places were some of the best places of Istanbul seaside.(Emirgan, Istinye,Yenikoy respectively, you can search them from google).
What I love most of this group of photographers is that everybody in here is so cool , easygoing,warm hearted,fun lover,good eater , good drinker , cool humble and the last but not the list great photographers with a great eye, each one with his/her own different ideas.I have more fun taking photos when I'm with this guys, they just make my day:)Ok , ok let me tell you, how the day passed.First we had breakfast at a very well know old cafe et Emirgan (Cınaraltı Kafe).Right after it we just walked to the very well know Emirgan Grove.I had just been there one time , 8 years ago and I remember we had visited it with friends from university at a very late hour (24.00 or s.t like that) and I was enchaunted by its beauty.I just don't understand why it took so long to revisit it:)Anyway, the grove was spectacular , maybe because of the wonderful tulips laying everywhere just like a carpet (and other lovely flowers as well) ...everybody was bursting energy and happines,maybe because of the beauty that surrounded us.There were some beautiful villa- cafes there , but we refused to sit and have a tea/coffe there just like some brainless aristocrats:) ( you see we are rebels as well:)After some sweet errands in the grove we kept walking up to Istinye another Istanbul district, well known with its beautiful boats,yachts and seascape.We had some cool yachts and boats shots, but right at that moment we heard our poor stomachs screaming like crazy..We had a short stroll and controlled for the best place and found a very cool boat , and would have enjoyed a great lunch upstairs if it wasn't for that dumb of waiter who got on our nerves saying that we should eat apart from each other , by not joining the tables as it would disrupt the balance of the boat.To hell with all of you , we said and left from there..We just leaped to a restaurant beside and luckily had a great lunch there.Right after it , we kept walking up our last station : Yenikoy another well known , old Istanbul district and had some nice shots there.We even met a lady with a smaaaaall black dog and we asked her : wow, how sweet , how old is he?And she said to us : well don't missapprehend his stature , he's had 4 ladies and a lot of puppies:)Well , he was kinda small for a stallion :))We finally had our last tea( turkish tea is the symbol of our group , everybody loves it here) and coffe in a small cozy coffe close to the Marmara Sea and so our day was over !I had a splendid time again and I'm looking forward to our next safari (next week on 29th of April:))I'm posting some pictures from yesterday.have fun..Permbledhje shqip:dje dola me miqte e mij fotografe dhe shetitem ne disa lagje mjaft te njohura , buze detit.Ja dhe disa foto...
