Another Ayvalik sunset...

Coming back home again after 3 weeks travelling in south-eastern Turkey has made me look at both Ayvalik, and my house, with renewed appreciation.

I took my dog up the hill early yesterday evening for his walk in the pine woods, and was welcomed back by a truly spectacular sunset over the Aegean. It reminded me how very lucky I am to have such extraordinary natural beauty there to enjoy freely every day, only a few minutes walk up the hill from my house in the town.

Thanks very much to everyone for your kind comments on the photos I posted whilst travelling - there are a few more to come, retrospectively, as whenI was staying in the Kurdish village, I didn't have any access to the internet.
