TEARY MORNING

I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT YOUTUBE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFKy9sNAYoc

live footage of taksim square, it's awful to see this wonderful vibrant city being rocked by
riot police shooting rubber bullets, throwing tear gas,  the protesters who want to maintain their secular society responding with molotov cocktails and other hand thrown missiles - president erdogan digging in his heels.  it's all scarily reminiscent of egypt, i hope it's resolved without too
much more upheaval and violence.   i'm wishing susan and sean would just leave right now, instead of in almost three weeks.


and then
i open up my bedroom curtains and this is what i see - could there be more of a contrast.i'm feeling very lucky to be where i am.

  1. Such beautiful shots,Anne, and like my beautiful monoprint of yours of the view from Varuna. Yes, I've been watching the news from Istanbul and thinking of the contrast for you. Fran (May GrandMothers United)
