Lake Salda, Turkey
Original Photography by chetoo;
Lake Salda is a mid-size crater lake in southwestern Turkey, within the boundaries of Yeşilova district depending Burdur Province, and it lies at a distance of about fifty kilometers to the west from the province seat of Burdur.
Salda is often cited as part of the Turkish Lakes Region that corresponds to the lands that extend across inner west- to southern Anatolia, especially in the provinces depending Isparta and Afyonkarahisar, although Lake Salda is geographically separate from the larger lakes which are more to the west and, being a crater lake, is morphologically different.
The lake area covers 4,370 hectares, and its depth reaches 196 meters, making it one of the deeper lakes in Turkey, if not the deepest.
It is a popular excursion spot across the region or from beyond, the more so due to the hydromagnesite mineral found along its coasts which are believed to offer remedies for certain dermatological diseases. The shoreline surrounded by black 
pine forests are also popular among hunters, the game and the fowl available including quails, hares, foxes, boars and wild ducks, aside from the lake's fish. White sandy beaches, limpid water and seven crystal-white islets within the lake complete the scenery.

360 Izmir- Asansor
Izmir Elevator 1 in Izmir
The Asansor, of Elevator, was designed as a more convenient means of travel to the living areas on the bluffs above the city. As you can see the hills offer a wonderful view of the bay but would exhaust all but the most hardy resident. Then add the summer heat or conversely, an icy winter day and you have disaster. The Asansor has been converted into an open-air cafe, a top-notch restaurant and a Genoese tavern.

Winter
Although it is quite cold (for Izmir) this artwork in no way is meant to depict conditions here. The worst we can expect is cold drizzle, something like late October in New England. However, out in the east of Turkey, it is reported that, due to heavy snows, the roads to 76 Turkish villages are impassable.

Homemade Deep Dish Pizza
Momma Mia, thatsa delicioso!!
For some reason, Turks, as a rule, tend to skip the tomato sauce from their pizzas- (even Dominos, for pity's sake) so I decided to make my own deep dish pizza for this evening.
If you have not tried to make your own pizza before, let me assure you it is a quite an easy thing. Forget all that Lucy business with the dough tossing and twirling. My cats would fling themselves off the balcony if I should ever attempt it.
