Walk in the Hood

 That white smudge on the grass is the neighborhood alpha dog, Pamuk (Cotton). He followed us for about 10 minutes on our walk and then got distracted by rolling around in the new grass.


Suddenly, playground! We haven't walked this way in a while I guess. The playground equipment fits in with the candy colored apartment buildings.

In the center distance, you can probably see the minaret of the mosque that is right across from our building. The blue and orange things are exercise equipment. Of course, these are placed in the direct sun. 

How the park is really used by the Koç University students.

Another gift from the KU students: "Base Station" graffiti.

On the other side of the park, there is a dirt road to a lake. Up ahead are the goats and the goatherd.

There's the lake and the minaret again...

I finally found the dog. . .poor baby, not much grass for him to enjoy. Nice park. Too bad about the graffiti and the booze bottles--kind of spoils the family-friendly ambience.
