For the BIG signature;) Since this is a documentation photo. And I noticed that no photos of the after flood is around (newspapers, news, internet). I know for sure they will take this photo and put it as their own. Went threw that once. So sorry for that ugly address thing in the middle.

Today; 09.09.09...
I was thinking to take a photo for today..
But a big flood happened in Istanbul.
This is the first worst flood here for a very very long time.
Like a first in the last 100 years.
It rained six times more rain in two days than usual for an entire month.
These photos are a 5 min. walk away from my house. The flood happened this morning at 07.00am. I couldn't go because of the hard rain. And didn't want a wet machine:)

It's on the E-5 (highway) - Basin Express Highway; going to the Ataturk Airport.
26 people died going to work and the airport.
It was higher than my head.
Factories is up the road, so all kinds of stuff came by; coca-cola's, drinks, refrigerators, medications, china dishes and cups...etc.

I will put some photos, and news links for more information.
At least watch this VIDEO This VIDEO and this VIDEO to understand.

PS: Yes my friends, we are O.K. Thank you all very much!

221 "comments" have been erased.

Because;
-Invites without comments
-Award codes without comments
-And because of these I couldn't read the REAL comments in all that clutter,
especially due to the Flickrs New Page.

16 pages... Of empty awards?
No thank you.

And I hug every one who did write something,
really it made me happy to see so much..
