Derek騽, G闥蔒ada, a photo from Canakkale, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Derek騽 (Shinoudi in Greek) � about 15 km west of Merkez. Situated on two slopes of a valley, parted by a road inbetween (Merkez-Uğurlu road). This village is said to be Turkey𠏋 biggest village once, with a population of 10,000. Now almost totally deserted. Be sure to visit the dark laundry building 馼hich is not used anymore- of this village.
All these villages (except Kalek騽𠏋 coastal part) are situated on the top of the hills and/or considerably away from the sea to escape pirate raids of the past.
Most parts of these villages are more or less deserted, and some parts are ruined. The three most liveliest villages are Kalek騽, Zeytinli, and Tepek騽.

Bonjour Val廨ie
Un asemblage bien effectu�, j'ai l'impression de plonger dans le d嶰or.
Cependant il aurait fallu sous exposer l嶲鋨ement.
J'esp鋨e que tu as eu ton nouvel appareil.
Bien cordialement

Bonjour Valerie,

Good panoramic view of the classical Turkish village.
Also a note on modern times with the people moving to city centers. Perhaps a slower and more peaceful place.

Thanks for sharing,cheers,
Ray

Hi Valerie,
A very interesting panoramic view. A pretty poor area, although picturesque. I guess there was an unique experience. Well done.

Salut Val廨ie,
Belle r嶧lisation avec ce panorama en format large, effectivement cela para褾 un abandonn� comme s'il y avait eu un trmeblement de terre, bon effet au centre avec ces volets bleus qui apportent de la couleur au village.

Salut Val廨ie, j'aime la fa蔞n dont vous avez formul� cela dans le format panoramique. Il semble un point de nombreuses images ensemble et est tr鋊 habilement ex嶰ut嶪. Les couleurs sont riches et puissants, l'image est nette et bien compos嶪. Beau travail, avoir un bon week-end. Amiti廥, Lisa

Bonjour Valerie,
very interesting panoramic view. Separately taken these houses would be rather simple but altogether they create a nice view. Very good idea to get it in one shot.
Have a good day,
M
