A quick shot of a swarm of fish during a summer trip to the Aegean Sea in Turkey. Not the highest resolution, but it makes a nice cover photo for my profiles with a mini hint of complexity.

A palm tree from my home town. I took this picture two summers ago, when visiting my hometown Seferihisar, Izmir, Turkey. I was just learning photography. I found it from my back ups and wanted to upload it.

As a resident of Chicago, I enjoy watching the skyline at night. I think Chicago has the best skyline in the U.S. It is a marvel of modern architecture. I also enjoy watching it from a distance, across the lake. I did a photography exercise and took a photo from nearby Belmont Harbor. Obviously not the best shot of Chicago, but still stunning.

This is the view from the Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. Right before the sunset, the city’s skyline is at its absolute best with Mount Hood with all its glory. I know there are many many versions of the same photo on the internet but who cares. It is a beautiful view that deserves the fame.
